Which True Freshman Will Play

[freescooter]

Most college coaches will tell you that they would prefer if possible to redshirt their entire incoming class. On occassion a player comes along who is both physically and mentally ready to play at the college level, and do so in a way that contributes in a major way. Todman was such a player. But Brown redshirted. And occasionally use a true freshman out of necessity. But if you watch, they will often show up on the 2 deep but when playing time comes up, its the 3rd guy who actually gets on the field.

That's a good point. That redshirt year can do amazing things for a program cause it gives the staff a year work with the player on technique, teach the playbook and develop the player physically. The player gets a chance to practice throughout the regular season on the scout team, go through an off season workout program, practice in spring ball, participate in a summer workout program, before going into their second training camp. Most freshmen that make a big impact are redshirt freshmen. It makes more sense for the program to redshirt them.

Tyler Samra, EJ Norris, and Jordan Floyd are the true freshmen with a realistic shot at playing time. Casey Cochran is part of the travel squad, and not on the scout team.

Cochran is going to be good. We might be on the verge of 5 years of QB bliss.
