He's an incoming freshman to us with good size and in high school was real good.

I cant believe I'm even proposing this question but seeing the terrible quarterbacking we've had this year made me wonder.

Not a dumb question. Every position, especially on offense, should be 100% open to the best player. If the freshman is ready, give him a shot.

In theory, yes...best player should be on the field, regardless of class rank. In practice, redshirt years are never going away. The speed of play difference between high school and college is incredible, as is the strength level. For qb's rb's, wr's, and db's, you might have some guys out of high school with insane talent who can play as a freshman, but those are the outliers, and if they are that good, they'll likely land at a P5. Linemen, lb's, te's benefit greatly from a year of conditioning and strength training before hitting the field.

Also keep in mind that a player can play in four games and still preserve their redshirt status. So if the coaches feel a player is potentially that good, they can play them in a few games and make the decision about preserving the redshirt based on their performance. That fifth year of eligibility is a big thing as far as player development goes. It will never go away.

I'm sure this was said somewhat in jest but CC would never do that.

Late bloomer that just started playing. I'm sure he'll redshirt next year.

Another OL. I'd like to hear his Storey. D1 offers, commits to GVSU, then plays a year at Hope.

Assumption is that this is a walk-on.
