This again? So fucking stupid. He is 100% gone to the NFL after next season! Get that through your fucking head! The coaches know this and do not give a fuck about red shirting him at all. We need him to win the next two games. Need to get the most out of him while we got him. He's fucking playing in both games.
Fucking this. If he’s healthy and has a great year next year, he’s probably gone anyway. Plus, there’s no fucking way he’s staying 3 more years. Even if he did redshirt and stayed that long, it would be because he kept getting hurt, and WWWHA.
...play him in both the P12CG and bowl game, and sacrifice a year of eligibility?
Assuming players are going pro early is reckless and playing him against both Stanford and Oregon State was dumb.
You would think given Pete's reputation of being insanely detail oriented would lead to better roster management, but it hasn't. You would also think a well coached team would have solid at worst special teams; we don't. It's hard.

Do you prefer him leaving as a true Junior or redshirt sophomore?

Per PFF was the highest rated TE last week.
TIGHT END Hunter Bryant, Washington Week 13 Grade: 91.2
Bryant had quite the evening against Washington State, coming down with all three of his targeted passes for 108 yards and 56 yards after the catch. He forced two missed tackles and saw a perfect passer rating when targeted from Jake Browning (and Aaron Fuller) of 158.3.

This is a no brainer. The goal is to win titles. The coaches are here to win games, titles, otherwise they get fired. Your best receiver is back, healthy, and you are about to play for the conference trophy and maybe a Rose bowl. Of course you play him. Regardless of if he declares for the NFL early, what if he breaks his leg against Portland State in September next year? What did you accomplish by not playing him? What if he stays healthy but the team goes 6-6 because something else happens. When you can win today you dont postpone to tomorow.

Redshirt sophomore if the difference is a few snaps against Stanford or playing half the game against the worst power 5 team in the country.
