here is the list of who's who....
The plan had been in place until two weeks ago, when the Cowboys were hit with a rash of receiver injuries, forcing Johnson into the starting lineup the last two games.
He has now surpassed the four-game limit allowed by the NCAA, meaning this will be his final season of college football.
Additionally, safety Dylan Smith — who made the fourth-down tackle on Drake Stoops to seal the Bedlam win — has now played in five games as well. He is just the team’s third true freshman to surpass the redshirt threshold.
Here’s a look at the redshirt tracker after nine games:
Played in more than four games, not eligible to redshirt: Longsnapper Shea Freibaum (Fr.), receiver Leon Johnson III (Sr.), punter Hudson Kaak (Fr.), nose tackle Justin Kirkland (So.), safety Dylan Smith (Fr.).
Played in four games, still eligible to redshirt: Safety Kam Franklin (Fr.), cornerback Kenneth Harris (Sr.), receiver De’Zhaun Stribling (Jr.).
Played in three games, still eligible to redshirt: Safety Lardarius Webb Jr. (Jr.).
Played in two games, still eligible to redshirt: Cornerback R.J. Lester (Fr.), linebacker Poasa Utu (Fr.).
Played in one game, still eligible to redshirt: Offensive lineman Jack Endean (Fr.), linebacker Andrew McCall (Fr.), receiver Jalen Pope (Fr.)
Redshirt-eligible non-freshmen who have not appeared in a game: Offensive lineman Jarrett Henry (So.), nose tackle Iman Oates (Jr.).
