Northwestern Commit Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen Ineligible for Taking Too Many Classes

A Northwestern football commit has reportedly been ruled ineligible by the Michigan High School Athletic Association for taking too many class credits.

According to Matt Schoch of the Detroit News, Walled Lake Western high school wide receiver Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen may miss the upcoming season because of a credit issue. Head coach Alex Grignon said the school is appealing on the receiver's behalf and explained Yaseen's classification level was changed after he was home-schooled prior to arriving at Walled Lake Western as a freshman in 2016.

"So when he came in as a freshman, they counted him as a sophomore, and then they changed it but never said anything," Grignon said of Yaseen taking too many credits above grade level.
