Somebody commented recently that Kaumatule might redshirt.

I wonder why.

Speculation but the thinking could be that Kaumatule has been moved between 3 positions, and if they redshirt him that'd get him one more year to settle on defensive tackle and that way they would have one more guy as a viable player in that position group next year. Then again I don't know that they've decided that at all. Watkins and Lohn should be eligible to return next year. So of those three, I imagine they'd like to have at least two return next year. I think I recall Shayne Skov commenting on Kaumatule in '13 after Kaumatule had moved to defensive tackle, that if he ever learned some fundamental aspect of the position he could be very good.
