I was looking at the official roster today, trying to determine how many of our scholarship players redshirted last season.

The names I came up with: Jarrett Guarantano, Ja'Quain Blakely, Ryan Johnson and Devante Brooks.

Am I missing anyone?

Really thought there would be more than that. I think Brooks desperately needed the redshirt. He should be an outstanding player going forward.

We burned Tatum's redshirt vs Bama I believe. we could have really used his athleticism now that he is physically more mature for another 4 years.

Didn't Niehaus redshirt too?

Mykelle McDaniel , Austin Pope , Latrell Williams

I knew there were more guys that I had in my mind. All those guys are listed as sophomores on the utsports roster, even though none of them played last year as far as I know. Maybe the roster isn't accurately updated yet. :dunno:

Could redshirt this year.

I think that would be a good idea since we don't have to play him for depth.

Tackles- Richmond,Hall,Kendrick,Niehaus,T.Smith,D.Brooks

Interior - Coleman,Robertson,Boulware,Jones,Johnson

Redshirt- Locklear,Tatum,Calbert


Plus some guys can line up in different areas in a pinch.

I believe Nathan Neihaus also redshirted as well as a WR.

these players did not redshirt... they just didn't play

https://www.seccountry.com/tennessee/tennessee-recruiting-2016-class-contributions



Tennessee handed out a handful of redshirts to the 2016 class — quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, offensive tackle Ryan Johnson, offensive lineman Devante Brooks and outside linebacker Ja’Quain Blakely.

Three others — defensive lineman Mykelle McDaniel, receiver Latrell Williams and offensive lineman Nathan Niehaus — were not given redshirts, according to Tennessee’s 2017 roster, despite not having played in the 2016 season.

Still haven't found anymore info if they did or did not but according to this they did not receive a redshirt

if his source is the Tennessee roster he doesn't have a very good source. that roster is rarely 100% accurate.

Yea I saw this as well just wasn't sure which was correct. Both seem or seemed legit. Shoot I have no problem with Niehaus being redshirted, I hope he added some weight to that 6'6 frame.

Tennessee is applying for a medical redshirt for Alexis Johnson, but haven't heard back according to Rucker. They likes his chances.

It looks like UT has updated the roster since the other day when I started this thread.
