There are six players on the 2019 Boise State football team roster who are listed simply as a "Senior" - meaning they have NOT utilized their redshirt year. Which also means they COULD utilize their redshirt year this fall IF they choose to do so. These six are:
Strong Safety - Kekoa Nawahine
Wide Receiver - John Hightower
Long Snapper - Nicolai Pitman (Walk-on)
Nose Tackle - Emanuel Fesili (Started only 1 game last fall)
Defensive Tackle - Chase Hatada (He's listed as a DE on the roster but he Started 6 games last fall at DT)
Nose Tackle - Sonatane Lui (He started 9 games last fall at NT)
With the return of David Moa at DT next fall I would like to see Hatada and Emanuel Fesili use their redshirt this fall so that they could return for the 2020 season. I say that because currently there are 9 players on the Boise State football team roster who are listed as a Defensive Tackle or a Nose Tackle (if you include Chase Hatada - who is incorrectly listed as a DE) and FIVE of those nine are currently listed as 2019 Seniors (or Grad Student in Moa's case). If all five of those players play next fall that would leave only 4 defensive interior linemen to return for the 2020 season.
Boise State could EASILY redshirt Hatada and Fesili as they would have the following at the two interior line spots next fall
Defensive Tackle
David Moa - 2019 Graduate Student (the 2017 Starter at DT who played only 1 game last fall)
Matt Locher - 2019 RS Senior - Started 2 games last fall
Scale Igiehon - 2019 True Sophomore - Started 2 games at DT last fall as a True Freshman
Jabari Watson - 2019 RS Junior - Played in 12 games last fall
Scott Matlock - 2019 RS Freshman - Played in 2 games last fall
Nose Tackle
Sonatane Lui - 2019 True Senior - Started 9 games last fall
Scale Igiehon - 2019 True Sophomore - Started 1 game at NT last fall
Keeghan Freebon - 2019 RS Sophomore - Redshirted last fall
If needed David Moa can also play as the Nose Tackle
Strong Safety - Kekoa Nawahine
Wide Receiver - John Hightower
Long Snapper - Nicolai Pitman (Walk-on)
Nose Tackle - Emanuel Fesili (Started only 1 game last fall)
Defensive Tackle - Chase Hatada (He's listed as a DE on the roster but he Started 6 games last fall at DT)
