The NCAA denied James Hudson's appeal for immediate eligibility, a UC athletic spokesperson confirmed Saturday.
The Cincinnati Bearcats offensive lineman tweeted words of disappointment Saturday just days ahead of the start of training camp.
"Thank you everybody for your support," Hudson wrote. "Unfortunately, things did not work out but this is not the end. Yes, it is unfair and not right but everything happens for a reason. Until next year"
The NCAA denied a waiver for Hudson to play this season in May.
