Former Maryland and current Kent State defensive back Qwuantrezz Knight, who left the Terps after playing four games in 2018, will appeal for immediate eligibility after being denied by the NCAA, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. Knight was denied on June 4, and has 30 days to appeal.
The Quincy, Florida, native sought an immediate eligibility waiver citing “depression symptoms due to the environment he experienced on the University of Maryland’s football team,” according to a letter Stephanie Rosinski, Kent State Associate Director for Compliance, wrote to the NCAA, which Knight provided to ESPN.
