At the halfway point of the 2024 season, there are several freshmen whose redshirt status is still in the air.
Earlier this week, I wrote up the Interim Reports for Miami’s Offense and Defense. While writing those narratives (and looking over the participation reports and various stats and thinking about how to improve the performance at various positions), I started thinking about which young players could see the field to help the team. Which brings us here today.
There are some decisions to be made, whether playing a freshman now is worth the uncertainty (since they haven’t proven anything yet) or should they wait to give these players time to develop for the future.
