Logan Diggs had labrum surgery after the 2021 season. His usage rate in the early part of the year was low indicating that they were not sure he was 100% yet (175 total touches for the 2022 season, but of those only 51 came in the first 6 games (including no receptions or carries against Cal) versus 124 touches in the remaining 7 games)).

Then in June 2022, Price had an Achilles injury which took him out for the year.

Gi'Bran Payne was added as a late recruit and was on the roster but probably not the first choice to burn a year of eligibility on a guy who needed to size up. As it is he only played in 4 games so preserved his redshirt (Navy, BC, Southern Cal, South Carolina).

At that point (start of 2022 season), you only had 2.5 backs including Estime, Tyree, and a less than 100% Diggs).

As of today, you have Diggs, Estime, Price, Payne, and Love (who may be ready to play this Fall), so you have the freedom to move Tyree.
