Other athletes redshirt as freshmen because of the roles upperclassmen all of the time - football being the notable sport where it occurs. There was a setter at PSU volleyball that was a top 10 recruit and redshirt her freshman year because the then senior setter was a 4x AA that was the best setter in the nation. It happens all of the time even without injuries.
Not sure why this isn't talked about more in the lacrosse world...
Will be interesting to see if there are many red shirts on the boys side many electing to PG a year
