You’re still going to have kids down the depth chart quitting in season, not wanting to waste a year of eligibility. I’d be surprised if we don’t see a bunch this year. I guess we’ll see this week.
I have no issue with a player not playing much redshirting. I would even hope teams that had that situation would willingly not let the kid burn a redshirt unless forced to by injuries even if there is an NIL deal in place.
