I thought it meant that the person was a member of the team during his/her freshman year but didn't play. Then the person did play during the sophomore year. So, even though the person was on the team during the regular first season, he/she didn't actually play until the next season.

To be redshirted I think it is more than a person not playing. You can practice with the team, but I don't think you can be on the roster. But I may be wrong.

This thing is just too funny. I seriously cannot stop laughing!!

No, you're right. To "redshirt" means to forgo competition in a sport for an entire season. A redshirted player can practice with the team but cannot compete at all. It's a way of extending eligibility, since under general NCAA rules, a student is only eligible for four seasons of competition in any one sport.

By "redshirted sophomore," he could either mean:

1) He was redshirted as a freshman and is now a sophomore in his first season of eligibility (in which case, it's clearer to say "I was a redshirted freshman"), or

2) That he competed his freshman year but for some reason -- injury perhaps, or academic problems -- has chosen to redshirt his sophomore year.

Or he could have redshirted his freshmen year, played his redshirt freshmen year (sophomore academically) and now is in his redshirt sophomore year (junior academically). Usually people on refer to themselves as "I was a redshirt freshmen" or "I redshirted my first year". I have not heard many people continue to use the redshirt before their year.

Very true.

And like you, I haven't usually heard people continue to use "redshirt" before their year -- they just "were redshirted freshmen." His saying "redshirt sophomore" is what made me wonder if what he means is that he competed freshman year but is sitting out of competition his sophomore year.

High Comedy, Indeed. Especially the one with Luda all up in her site. Just what I think of when AKA comes to mind

[PhDiva]

I think the most ridiculous thing to all of this is that they posted their pictures too!!! I mean if you want to say something that bold, at least use a screen name that isn't that easy to connect to you, leave out details of the school you are attending and DO NOT POST YOUR PHOTOGRAPH!!!.

Every football player I've known from various schools have said "redshirt" sophomore, junior, and senior. That is their way of letting people know that they are 3rd year sophomores, 4th year juniors, or 5th year seniors because they were ineligible to play their freshman year.
