College football players are allowed to participate in up to four games during a given season and still qualify for a redshirt season and maintain four more years of eligibility. In Michigan’s 51-7 opening week win against Colorado State, there were plenty of true freshmen who made their college debuts.
As the Michigan Wolverines will go into their next two games as heavy favorites, it is expected that plenty of first-year players will continue to see game action.
Each week, we will be tracking the true freshmen who see the field to keep tabs on which guys will be eligible to maintain their redshirt status.
