Though Virginia Tech played a large number of freshmen during Saturday’s game at Boston College, only five of them were true freshmen. NCAA rules permit a player to play in up to four games and still take a redshirt year, so technically all of Tech’s freshmen are still eligible for a redshirt. However, it appears that four of them are set for major roles in 2019. That number could expand, but we won’t know until later in the season.
