Redshirt Status

[Gocats15]

Looking at our team, I'm kind of curious about the freshman. Twait seemed to be the only one who saw any significant time. Yet while looking at the season stats in the game notes, it says Trevor Allen, Tyler Eads, and Jesse Cardenas all appeared in games. I never noticed any of them appear, although each is credited with one tackle. Eads is also listed in the participation report for the Portland St game, even though I doubt he was one of the 60 suited up (at safety he'd be behind Hall, Kilfoy, Webb, Feldpausch, Hendrix, and Singleton). If they did play, why on earth would Farley waste redshirts on guys to play in 1 game? We are plenty deep at HB, there would have had to have been at least 3 significant injuries for Allen to even be close to seeing the field this year. At LB, we have a solid 2 deep core, so no need for Cardenas to play. And we have about 6 experienced guys at safety who would all play before Eads, and even if a bunch got hurt, I guarantee we'd move Young back to safety and play Whiting/Buchanan at CB. Hopefully its just a mistake, but them being credited with tackles has me concerned it isn't.

It is possible the wrong Allen was identified for the tackle. AJ is a LB who had his red shirt last year and is seeing some action this year. Trevor is a RB in his red shirt year and who would not be created with a tackle.

Twait is the only true freshman that has played

Re: Redshirt Status

Farley has said Trevor Allen was the MVP of the scout team and he looks for him to become a heck of a RB.

Good to hear. I know he was highly thought of coming out of Waukee.

Which is exactly why I was hoping for his redshirt to be preserved. Hopefully it was just a mess up in terms of crediting the wrong player. Just surprised it hasn't been fixed already, as I'm assuming the coaches have seen our team stats and would notice something like that.

This is such a positive note for this young man. Anytime you have a person who is as talented as that kid is show the character it takes to put forth the effort as a scout team member things are really coming together.

Re: Redshirt Status

I expect both Allen boys to be significant contributors next year, with AJ possibly starting (if Dexter is graduating).

Isaac Ales is the only senior in our starting front seven. Reth, Farley, and Woods are all sophomores.

That's just amazing.

Hadn't noticed this. The unit is performing pretty darn well coming off a year that I thought would be down because of the loss of Xavier.

Re: Redshirt Status

I like that D next year with Whiting and Ray Buch at the corners.

Gotta find two guys ready to go at Safety. Hendrix looked like a hitter when he got some snaps earlier this year. Got Singleton and Napoleon out there as well...and a few other potentials.

Could be a salty squad in '16.
