I agree with you; why redshirt someone who can help you. To be fair, we did return pretty much everyone in the defensive backfield from last season and added a graduate transfer. However, even if we only used him in dime formations, that is more help for Stanford than if he redshirts and grad-transfers out.
At this point, I'm thinking the only reasons to redshirt a player are a) they are injured or b) there can't crack the two deep (accounting for injuries). And in the case of b, these are sometimes going to be players not invited back for a fifth year anyways, unless they demonstrate exceptional development.
