The new NCAA redshirt rule for football allows players to appear in up to four games while maintaining their redshirt. N’Kosi Perry, Malik Rosier and the Miami Hurricanes passing game struggles provided no reason that Williams didn’t receive more playing time.
Jarren Williams appearing in only one game last season was questionable. There was plenty of opportunities for him to get into three more games and maintain his redshirt. The Miami Hurricanes victories over North Carolina and Pittsburgh and loss to Wisconsin in the Pinstripe Bowl were opportunities that Richt had to insert Williams.
