Yes, that is correct.

BTW, the term "redshirt" has no well defined meaning, but I think most people here use it to mean a player who is on the 35 man roster, but doesn't compete in any game during the season. Using this definition of a redshirt, the player does practice with the team and is part of the team.

So for no value other than trivia, if Wikipedia is to be believed:

The origin of the term redshirt was likely from Warren Alfson of the University of Nebraska who, in 1937, asked to practice but not play and wore a Nebraska redshirt without a number.
