Can we redshirt Braylon Heard?

[Brasky]

I'm frankly upset we didn't redshirt at least one of them. Is it too late? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's played since Wyoming...

Fun fact: The first athlete known to extend his eligibility in the modern era of redshirting was Warren Alfson of the University of Nebraska in 1937. Alfson requested that he be allowed to sit out his sophomore season due to the number of experienced players ahead of him. In addition, he had not started college until several years after graduating high school, and thus felt he needed more preparation. The year off worked; Alfson was All-Big Six Conference in 1939 and an All-American guard in 1940.

I'm guessing the term "Redshirt" comes from the color of Nebraska's uni's then.
