Stud freshman RB Asa Martin had one carry and one kick return vs. Miss St. That was his 5th game of the year to play in. Problem is the au coaches did not know. Martin's mom says they coaches told the family their plan was to redshirt him and preserve a year of eligibility. Mom said she even reached out to the coaching staff to question them about his redshirt status before that game. Here's a quote from the article.
“After the Mississippi State game is when another assistant coach said that he wanted to redshirt Asa,” Harris said. “At this point, he had played five games."
"… I’m just blown away, because Asa and I and his dad already knew that Asa’s redshirt had already been burned in the Mississippi State game.”
They seriously don't have people who keep track of that. Dang he was a top ranked recruit, and they just wasted his year. barns gonna barn.
