Redshirting in college football involves a player sitting out for a season in order to preserve their four years of eligibility. In College Football 25, players can strategically use redshirting to gain an additional year in their Road to Glory and Dynasty modes.
In professional sports simulation franchises like Madden or MLB The Show, players can create an athlete and engage in unlimited seasons. However, collegiate athletes are limited to four years of eligibility, which makes the Road to Glory experiences in College Football 25 relatively short.
Fortunately, players have the option to import their Road to Glory saves into Madden 25, thereby extending and enhancing a player’s career. For those seeking to maximize their limited time in Road to Glory and Dynasty, redshirting is an excellent strategy to consider.
How to Redshirt Players in Road to Glory & Dynasty Modes
In College Football 25 Road to Glory, if players do not participate in at least four games during their freshman year, they automatically acquire redshirt status and can compete for an additional year.
In Dynasty mode, if there is a talented freshman without a position on the field, you can opt to redshirt them. To do this, you must select the player from the roster screen and choose the redshirt option before the season commences.
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.
When selecting a school, the game will display the top three players in your position on the depth chart. If you aim for redshirt status, look for a school where the three players are rated significantly higher than you, decreasing the chance of taking their snaps.
