How a new rule in college football can work to the Miami Hurricanes’ benefit this year

It’s a rule Miami Hurricanes freshman defensive tackle Nesta Silvera knew about already.

But in no way does he want it applying to him.

“Ain’t no redshirting me,” Silvera said at UM’s media day Monday.

The new rule, approved by the NCAA in June, allows for a college football player to appear in as many as four games at any point in the season and still remain eligible for a redshirt, which saves them one of their four years of eligibility.
