🏈 Regarding NC game

[Jseakin]

I know Phelon Jones can play just as Peak could have played last year if not for injury but does this include the freshman that red shirted as well? Can they play in this game without losing the RS?

I think he took a shirt at LSU, I may be wrong.

yeah pretty sure he took the redshirt already,
but it'd be pretty shveet to see him line up in crimson for that game :hyper:

I think I worded that wrong. Phelon CAN play in the NC game since he has sat his year now for the transfer. My question was whether our current red shirt guys could play without losing theirs. Fluker, McCarron, Lacy, etc...

My understanding is that if we played these guys they'd lose the 'shirt.

Redshirt Definition

The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition.
Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition

This is what made me question it in the first place because the "academic year" will be over by the game. I think this is reflected by the fact that Saban allowed the freshman to do interviews after the FL game which was the first time that happened. I was curious how that correlated with the redshirt rules.
