Football: Jayshon Platt redshirts this season to preserve two more years of play

Florida Atlantic University’s football team (2-3, 0-1 AAC) is officially entering their bye week after a 41-10 win at home against Wagner University (2-3) on Sept. 28. After week four, players had to decide whether or not to redshirt themselves, effectively removing them from playing any other games this year.

Head coach Tom Herman confirmed at the weekly football press conference on Tuesday that the only player who decided to redshirt is junior wide receiver Jayshon Platt. He said none of the other players have expressed thoughts about it.

As of now, Herman said that Platt has told the coaching staff that he plans to dedicate this year to training and continue his two remaining years of eligibility at FAU.
