More and more Longhorns from Texas\u2019 2024 signing class have seen the field enough for their redshirts to be burnt after six games. Who can keep their redshirts, who will enter 2025 as a sophomore, and who could start their second season in Austin as a redshirt freshman?<\/p>\n

All have been needed this year, and several have become critical contributors on offense, defense, and special teams. There was little reason to think members of this group were going to be five-year players. Some of them may be in Austin just for three.<\/p>\n In the case of JJR, injuries suffered by Derek Williams<\/a><\/strong> made his services needed early. How much standard down action he sees is not yet known, but with everyone moving up a spot Johnson-Rubell likely becomes critical on special teams.<\/p>\n January has earned more and more time this season and was seen as necessary against Mississippi State and Oklahoma. January has proven to be capable of answering the call in the limited times he\u2019s appeared on the field.<\/p>\n TE Jordan Washington<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n There are extremely high hopes for Washington in his career and that can be seen in Texas having enough trust to play him in four games already. Even Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders<\/a><\/strong> burned his redshirt while developing, and it looks like Washington might be in a similar boat.<\/p>\n OL\u00a0Brandon Baker<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(3)<\/strong><\/p>\n WR\u00a0Parker Livingstone<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(3)<\/strong><\/p>\n DB\u00a0Wardell Mack<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(3)<\/strong><\/p>\n These players are not the type Texas should expect to stay on a college roster until the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n DB\u00a0Xavier Filsaime<\/a>\u00a0(1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Filsaime carried lofty expectations as the No. 41 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking but he has been dinged up to start the year. He could maintain his redshirt to provide a bit of a buffer for the program as it develops players to replace\u00a0Jahdae Barron<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Andrew Mukuba<\/a><\/strong>, and possibly others at the Star or safety positions after this season.<\/p>\n How Williams\u2019 injury affects Filsaime remains to be seen.<\/p>\n QB\u00a0Trey Owens<\/a>\u00a0(2)<\/strong><\/p>\n EDGE Zina Umeozulu<\/a> (1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Quinn Ewers<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0returning to and maintaining health should make this one possible. Developmental years are good, just ask\u00a0Arch Manning<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The talent ahead of Umeozulu right now doesn\u2019t make redshirting a bad thing.<\/p>\n WR Aaron Butler<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n DB Santana Wilson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n OL Daniel Cruz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n RB Christian Clark<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n WR Freddie Dubose Jr.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n OL Nate Kibble<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n DL Melvin Hills<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n There are a lot of quality players in this group but their positions are very crowded or there are injuries keeping them off the field. An extra development year doesn\u2019t mean they are destined to be five-year players, just that they might need a little bit of work before they can take snaps of any sort in a game. It worked for\u00a0Johnathon Brooks<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s working for\u00a0Hayden Conner<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n [Subscribe to the Inside Texas YouTube channel!]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n One last reminder: Conference championship games as well as College Football Playoff matchups don\u2019t count toward the four-game limit. Participation within the 12-game regular season is what matters when looking to see if a redshirt is going to be burnt or not.<\/p>\n The post Who can still redshirt?
