With just two games remaining in Temple's season, I thought it would be worthwhile to check in on where players stand from a redshirt eligibility perspective. Entering the season, 25 scholarship players still had the option to redshirt and retain a year of eligibility. From the looks of it, 13 of those players are likely to receive a redshirt. As a reminder, a player no longer has to be injured to receive a redshirt, they just can't play more than four games in a season.
I've broken the players into two groups below, guys that have no chance at a redshirt due to playing too much and players that are likely going to redshirt. For the players in the first group that return next season, they'll still have the opportunity to redshirt in future years.
