Demetrius is a no question redshirt. He's playing the same spot currently manned by Muhammed, McCord, and Harris. He's not going to see playing time over them and needs time in the weight room and practice field.
You forgot about Chad Thomas.
Personally, I think pretty much every freshman should redshirt.
They may be big swinging ****s in high school, but this is major college ball.
They may think they are ready for the NFL, but that first week of practice is a rude awakening.
In reality if we don't redshirt 90% of incoming freshmen it means 2 things: our depth sucks or we have an unbelievable freshmen class.
We may redshirt only 70-80% because that's what happens when you have self imposed scholarship reductions for 3 years in a row.
People forget we've played down something like 10% scholarship players each year the past 3 years.
This year we are actually only playing 3 players down compared to 9 last year, which is why we have a legitimate depth chart for the first time in like 3 years without relying heavily on freshmen and cast off transfers.
1st time in a while we will have legitimate 2 deep Miami level talent at pretty much every position.
Going to shut the mouths of most of you haters.
The die hard haters can just go Fuuck off.
