How does redshirting work?

Say for instance we keep Myles Brennan as a backup just for emergencies and maybe mop up duty, and by season's end we end up not using him more than 4 games. Can we then give him a redshirt year, or does it have to be done earlier in the year and then proceed to not put him in more than the 4 games?

The NCAA sends you a red t shirt in the mail and you’re good to go

In fact, there is no "giving" about it. All players have 5 years to play 4. Meaning, once you have played 4 seasons - your eligibility is out and you have 5 years from 1st enrollment to do so.
In the recent past - one play in any game meant "you played in that year". Longer ago, there was a few games at the BEGINNING of the year that one could play without being deemed to have used that year's eligibility.
They have now said - a player can play for 4 or fewer games (any number of plays and any game s of the season) and not have burned that year's eligibility.
So, it needn't be some "declaration". It is a simple matter of 5 years to play 4 and it takes more than 4 games in that "one year" to count.

When you're being recruited, they promise you will start as a Freshman. Then they sit you out for a year. Like that.
