Matt Porter of the Post said those players are: quarterback Jack Allison, offensive tackle Tre Johnson, wide receiver Sam Bruce,tight end Jovani Haskins and defensive lineman Tyreic Martin. Despite a team source previously saying a sixth, safety Jeff James, will redshirt, James’ status is unclear.
Bruce is the gem of this group. He’s a four-star recruit that was expected to be a contributor this season. Bruce was suspended for the first three games of the season for unspecified team rules.
Bruce then broke his leg in an off the field incident and thus will be redshirted. He was a four-star recruit and the 11th ranked wide receiver in the class of 2016.
