Freshmen often don’t play in a college football season because 1. They aren’t ready at the beginning of a season and 2. It’s not worth it to burn their redshirts by the end of the season when they have developed more physically, mentally and otherwise.
The NCAA’s new redshirt rule has flipped the script on that and will now allow freshmen (or anyone) to play in up to four games while maintaining their redshirt status. That is, CJ Moore can play in each of OSU’s final four games and still be a redshirt freshman in 2019.
With that in mind, Marshall Scott and Kyle Porter traded thoughts and ideas about how this is going to play out, who they’d like to see get a little playing time and what Mike Gundy’s general position will be when it comes to this rule.
