As you may recall, college football introduced a new redshirt rule for this season that allows players to participate in as many as four games without it counting toward a year of eligibility.
For a program like the Syracuse Orange, it’s incredibly useful to be able to audition younger players and then make a decision after four games or so about whether or not they’ll be contributing for the rest of the season.
With that in mind, we wanted to look at Syracuse’s younger and/or injured players to see who’s on track for a redshirt, who might be and who isn’t so far in 2018.
