Every early enrollment is seeing playing time - both offensive and defensive players. Just because an early enrollee is playing with the first team, does not mean they are going to start. BK has made that statement numerous times. But BK is letting those players compete now and show what they have to offer, instead of having to sit out the Spring and wait behind upper classmen. It makes perfect sense.
Buchner is playing.... we see him throwing every practice. He has as much opportunity as any freshman to earn his time. He just has a more difficult time earning playing time, because there generally is no QB rotation. They pick only one starter... where almost every other position will have a rotation of players to contribute.
I like that the freshman have a chance to go up against the veterans.... how you turned that into a negative is truly special.
