Reply to "How often are college freshman asked to redshirt?"

I would look at the roster and stat histories of your target schools.  How many of the upper classmen had redshirted - this will tell you your answer.  Equally important, look at the stats of the upper classmen when they were freshman - how many got significant action, some action, no action, redshirt?  At my son's school (mid-major D1) every upper classman starter had been a contributor when they were freshman.  I'm sure different schools and coaches have different ways of doing things, but it's useful to know how they operate.

Agreed that you have to analyze what the HC's history has been....At my son's mid-major there are a half dozen major contributors who red shirted as freshmen and then started the following year.
