Yes.  Son heard a pop in fall ball his college freshman year.  Got an MRI and it was a labral tear due to hip impingment.  (It was bilateral, and is usually inherited). 

The backstory was that every spring in high school baseball  he had hip issues and did therapy, stretches, etc.  It helped some, but it wasn't until he heard the pop that something could actually be done about it.

He played all college freshman year injured.  The following summer he got the 'full tune-up' and had both hips repaired one month apart.  After 6 months of PT and he was back on the field for sophomore year.

As far as redshirting, for D1 I think if you play less that 30% of the games you can get a medical redshirt.  The trainers and coaches were watching son closely freshman year to see if he needed to redshirt.  He elected to played through the pain.  Since the damage was done, it wasn't like it was going to get worse.

GET AN MRI!

X-ray and MRI should be done.
