Redshirting is always a fluid situation, of course. But of the 25 incoming freshmen on the roster (I'm including Caleb Wilson), here's my guess as to who will play this season and who will redshirt:
NON-REDSHIRTS
REDSHIRTS
The status for Masina, Ross and Houston remains a question mark, given their respective involvement in fall practice. Masina hasn't gotten as many reps alongside frontline players as you would typically see from someone who's going to play. Ross has been hampered by a shoulder injury. Houston has done well when he's been integrated, but we've seen less of him lately. He's also behind Su'a Cravens and the emerging Uchenna Nwosu.
