Arizona Wildcats transfer Emmanuel Akot has spoken publicly for the first time since leaving the UA for Boise State, telling the Idaho Press that he hopes to be granted a waiver so that he can suit up for the Broncos in 2019-20.
The sophomore forward appeared in 17 games for the Wildcats in 2018-19, including two after the semester break.
Generally, NCAA transfer rules generally would require him to sit the entire 2019-20 season before being eligible to play, but Boise State is applying for a waiver “due to the ongoing FBI investigation at Arizona,” according to B.
