The Loyola men’s volleyball team has three players on its roster who sat out last season. Now, they can finally move out of the practice gym and into game action.
These players — outside hitters Cole Schlothauer and Andrew “Doug” Lyons and middle blocker Danny Farrell — took what’s called a redshirt year. A player can redshirt in any sport and when they do, they remain on scholarship and practice with their team, but don’t play in games. When a player redshirts, they can be at the school for five years and are eligible to play for four seasons.
