It will be to the advantage of all if the incoming freshmen linemen can redshirt. Wake just isn't getting the ready to play 5* freshman linemen. Wake line recruits really benefit from two or three years strength and conditioning and learning technique before they play.
CJ Elmonus was highly touted as part of last year's recruiting class. Will he be ready to play as a rFr in 2020? Hopefully he and his fellow youngsters get some snaps just to get them a feel for game speed, and not because there is a need for bodies.
With Mike Edwards and Orlando Heggs gone from the current rFr class, that year group is small.
Rarely do you ever see a true freshmen offensive lineman play at a good program. Miami had a true freshman play because they were terrible. If you have good depth, you shouldn’t have to play true freshman at o-line. Good programs don’t have to.
