Understanding College Football Redshirting: A Guide for RTG and Dynasty Strategies

It’s important to note that players in Road to Glory have no control over their playing time, which complicates the process of achieving redshirt status. Therefore, we recommend enrolling in a four or five-star school, as it reduces the likelihood of getting playing time.
