The redshirt rule’s unintended consequences have reared their ugly head going into Week 5 of the college football season.
First it was Jalen McCleskey, OSU’s senior inside receiver, who Gundy announced this week would redshirt and transfer, preserving his year of eligibility for a school of his later choosing. Wednesday, it was a higher-profile name: Kelly Bryant.
The (now-former) Clemson QB, Bryant, told The Greensville News of his decision to transfer, which comes on the heels of Dabo Swinney moving freshman QB Trevor Lawrence into the starting role.
“They asked me how I felt about it,” Bryant said of his meeting with the coaches.
