Minnesota Football: NCAA grants medical redshirts for Demetrius Douglas and Antoine Winfield, Jr.

Head coach P.J. Fleck confirmed on WCCO this morning that the NCAA has granted medical redshirts for wide receiver Demetrius Douglas and defensive back Antoine Winfield, Jr.

Douglas, who will now enter next season as a redshirt freshman, recorded 11 receptions for 83 receiving yards through three games last year as a true freshman before suffering a foot injury that cost him the final nine games of the season.

Winfield, Jr. will return as a redshirt sophomore this fall after missing the final eight games of the season last year due to a hamstring injury.
