With the NCAA newest redshirt rule, now it is second year, players can play up to four games before being declared as a redshirt. Coaches like Clemson’s Dabo Swinney get the opportunity to see their freshmen in live action before they have to make a decision.
“Everybody is going to play,” Swinney said about his freshmen class. “So, that is the good news with the way it is today. Everybody is going to play, and we have four games to play with.”
Swinney says they have a few guys in the freshmen class that they feel they are definitely going to redshirt, while they have several that are on the bubble.
