One major decision for every college football coach is about the redshirting of players. As we saw a few years back, it’s not always about true freshmen, too. After all, Pitt previously redshirted Trey Anderson as a junior after he played during his first two years. But more often than not, this is about true freshmen.
Head coach Pat Narduzzi was asked about redshirts recently and while he didn’t say exactly who would be redshirting, he did give some indication of what he planned to do. For now, Narduzzi estimated about 4-6 true freshmen would probably not be redshirting, although that number could change slightly.
