I know that he "just a kicker" but considering the fact that Matics appears to have a hold on the place kicking duties (and is doing great) why would the team not red shirt Rubino? Seems odd to burn a year of eligibility for nothing. Can't he be reshirted then, if necessary, yank the shirt later?

ya, kinda thought the same thing, unless he brings something to the table Matics doesn't, ie: better at long distance field goal, or maybe SS just wants the added security that if something happens to Matics in a game, although unlikely, that he has Rubino ready to go.

Rubino can be dressed for every game in case they do need him, but as long as he doesn't take a snap (or kick off), he can still be redshirted at the end of the season.

I think you meant Rubino.

Ooops.. yes, i meant Rubino.. Thanks for pointing it out -- I have now fixed it!

Has Rubino played yet? If not, why are we assuming he won't be redshirted? Or am I misreading the first couple comments?

I guess I didn't understand how it works. So he can dress every game but if he doesn't actually play he can still be red shirted at the end of the year?

Correct. We did the same thing with JP Caruso last year
