With the recent advent of the four-game redshirt rule, any member of the roster can play in four games and redshirt, if they haven't already. This applies mainly to the true freshman class in most years, but in 2021, with multiple players getting an extra year of eligibility. We're tracking every player who still has the ability to redshirt throughout the year

Elijah Hicks - 1 game played

Marqez Bimage - 1 game played

Trevon Clark - 1 game played

Hicks still has a redshirt year to utilize if for some reason he doesn't make it to the four game mark. Bimage, who is listed as a 5th year senior by Cal, technically has two years of eligibility, given that he opted out at Texas in 2020. He still has a redshirt year available. Clark also has a redshirt year available after coming back as a super-senior.

The walk-on Princeton transfer does have a redshirt year left if he chooses to use it, as does Glover, a Penn/Western Carolina transfer.
