We had a P5 school that told youngest son they would redshirt him and all except 1 of their freshmen. We put them at the end of the list but did not tell them just in case. I guess it would not have hurt since it was 2020 so everybody got redshirted. I have meant to go back and look to see what they did with that class. Knowing them, they redshirted both that class and the next.
