CTVolsfan14, has there been a rule change on this matter in recent years?
Travis Stephens took a redshirt in 1999 to put some separation between himself and Travis Henry and Jamal Lewis. Travis played briefly as a true freshman in 1997, more extensively as a true sophomore in 1998, sat out 1999, was the backup for Travis Henry in 2000 and then had a gargantuan redshirt senior year in 2001, highlighted by his extraordinary performance against Florida in the Swamp.
