The NCAA Division I Council of football announced a new redshirt rule in June that allows a player to play in four games and still have the ability to be redshirted, maintaining a year of eligibility. In the past, players were allowed no more than one game before losing their redshirt status.
This new rule could change the way coaches determine lineups for games, where recruits choose to commit to, all while giving younger players more experience to prove themselves without burning their redshirt freshman year.
According to the NCAA , college football players are able to participate in four games in a season without using a season of competition.
