Talbott Denny‘s opportunity to play for his hometown Arizona Wildcats was stripped after the fifth-year senior suffered a serious knee injury before the season began, but it appears he will get another opportunity to make it happen.
Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star writes that Denny’s request for a sixth year is expected to be granted by the NCAA.
“The grad transfer from Lipscomb is expected to get approval for a sixth year in 2017-18 because he missed two seasons due to injuries,” Pascoe wrote.
The Tucson native likely would not have had a major role with the Wildcats this past season, but at minimum, he would have been asked to contribute when UA was down to seven scholarship players at different points in the year.
