Redshirt? In today's CFB? What the hell could possibly be the point? Save him for the next team he transfers to via the portal? Early exit to the NFL? No way a guy of his caliber is going to stick around for 5 years. (not saying he's going to bail via portal, just saying it's there, and between waiting to develop and PT publicity in the NIL era....just ain't no way...).
I expect DJ may play in all of our games. I would think BN would want DJ to have real game experience to develop him for the 2025 season. Therefore, he will probably be given a number of set plays with run or pass; and maybe even given the option of running or passing. By giving him the option, it seems that coaching would be better able to evaluate his decision-making!
You might to relook at those play by play accounts. If it was an obvious passing play, Leak would have been there. I'm sure you meant obvious running plays suitable for a wildcat QB.
