Redshirt question

[LeannaVol]

How does redshirting a player affect our scholarship limitations? For instance does a redshirt player count against the scholarship limit of 85? Also does a freshman who is redshirted count against the limit of the number of players you can sign in a years time? Go Vols.

No, he is still counted as a scholarship player.

Every scholarship athlete has 5 years to play 4 seasons.

Yes, it counts against the 85.

Yes, you can only sign 25 players every season in the SEC, even the redshirted players count against that 25
