How To Redshirt in College Football 25 – Dynasty & Road To Glory

As a dedicated gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but be intrigued by the intricacies of College Football 25’s Dynasty and Road to Glory modes. Redshirting players is one such feature that has both pros and cons, and as someone who’s been through countless seasons, I’ve learned a thing or two about its impact on a team’s roster.


In the NCAA Football 25 simulation, teams have the option to keep a player from participating in games during their freshman year to preserve an additional year of eligibility. Redshirting offers both advantages and disadvantages for your team’s roster. However, there are situations where redshirting is inevitable due to positional needs. To help you navigate this process in NCAA Football 25’s Dynasty Mode, we’ve prepared a comprehensive guide on redshirting players. Additionally, we’ll walk you through how your Road to Glory player may also be subjected to redshirting.

In summary, the practice of redshirting is common in both Dynasty and Road To Glory. This means allowing a player who had little or no playing time during their first year to have an additional year of eligibility. For instance, if you recruit a three-star prospect but don’t currently have a starting position for them, redshirting is an option to give them an extra year. Nevertheless, there are factors to take into account when deciding to redshirt a player.

  • Players can only be redshirted once and if they appeared in four game or less
  • Freshman players who play less than four games automatically get redshirted (Dynasty & Road To Glory)
  • Redshirting a player can affect their status with the team, prompting some to enter the Transfer Portal

How to Redshirt a Player in Dynasty

In College Football 25’s “Dynasty Mode,” you have the option to “postpone a player’s eligibility” in the “Redshirt Menu” located under the “Team” section. Here, you can delay the playing career of any athlete who has participated in fewer than five games. A name displayed in gray indicates that particular player has already utilized their redshirt year.

Based on my experience as a college football coach, I strongly advise against redshirting players who are older and prioritize playing time highly. From my observation, redshifting a junior or senior athlete could potentially lead to them considering a transfer due to their desire for game action. Instead, it’s best to redshirt younger players whom you have identified as potential starters but not within the next season. This approach allows the young athletes to gain valuable experience and knowledge while still contributing to the team in other ways during their redshirt year. In my career, I’ve noticed that this strategy has proven successful for both the development of the player and the overall performance of the team.

How to become a Redshirt player in Road To Glory

In the college football scene portrayed in “Road to Glory,” for a player to experience Redshirting, they should participate in fewer than four matches during their freshman year.

Based on where you stand in the Road to Glory hierarchy, you could have limited playing opportunities during your initial season. Fortunately, the university has the option to redshirt you, preserving your eligibility for an additional year. Nevertheless, prior to making your decision regarding which school to attend, consider the following factors carefully.

To guarantee a complete four-year college football career, consider enrolling in a team that will allow you immediate playing time or one that will hold you back a year through redshirting. The former option is simpler to secure game experience (and you can utilize the Transfer Portal as well). Prior to signing with a team, examine their depth chart, which is accessible on the roster selection page in RTG.

You can take advantage of a redshirt season, which gives you an extra year to gain valuable experience and still play for four consecutive years.

If you join the Kansas football team as a three-star running back prospect, you may find yourself behind starter Devin Neal in terms of playing time. However, this early experience can be beneficial. You’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable experience by practicing regularly and participating in games. This will help you accumulate experience points (XP), improve your skills, and earn the trust of your coaches. With a likely participation in just four or fewer games during the season, you’ll meet the requirements for a redshirt status.

Based on my experience as a long-time football fan and former high school player, I strongly advise against spending your hard-earned skill points prematurely. Trust me, I’ve seen plenty of players regret their hasty decisions when the season came to an end. Instead, hold off and see how the situation unfolds.

When Neal (or the current starter) leaves by entering the draft or graduating, there will be increased competition for his position. This means that you’ll have an opportunity to participate in a fight for the starting role.

As a gamer, I understand that with the vast selection of schools and depth charts available, there’s always an element of doubt regarding the amount of game time I’ll be given. Therefore, it’s essential for me to carefully consider where I choose to play, as this decision can significantly impact my player’s future success. Ultimately, I want to ensure that I bring a top-tier talent into Madden 25 when the opportunity arises.

In conclusion, this article provides an overview of the Redshirts rule in College Football 25. We aim to clarify its functioning within the game and offer strategies for using it effectively in Dynasty and Road to Glory modes. Wishing you success in creating a legendary history for your team!
