Although UCLA apparently saw over 20 freshman take the field this past year, many of them are still perhaps eligible for a redshirt year, given the new ruling that players can play in up to four games and still qualify for a redshirt year. Does anyone have information on which players might take advantage?
Also wondering if there's any news on Olorunfunmi, Jamabo, and Murphy. While I think Josh Kelley (assuming he returns) is easily the starter, it doesn't hurt to have experienced backs who, given the improvement in the offensive line play, might just surprise a few people. I know many have expressed disappointment in Soso, but he's rushed for almost 1200 yards in four seasons for close to 5 yds per cary, even with the atrocious line play, and chaotic OC stewardship. Bolu has similar numbers (slightly lower, probably due to his use in short yardage situations). In any case, both qualify for a redshirt year. Murphy, on the other hand, must seek a medical exemption or waiver to get an additional year.
Also, what about Jaelen Phillips? Although he qualifies, I guess it also depends on other life plans. How long does he want to stay in school vs. perhaps leaving for the NFL?
Will Josh Woods, a senior, return?
Thoughts?
