NC State offensive lineman Chandler Zavala applied for a medical waiver that would allow him to play a sixth season but had it denied by the NCAA last month. But as David Thompson reports, he hasn’t given up on getting that extra year.
He played in only five games for the Wolfpack this past season, but he’s trying to get a waiver for his freshman season at Fairmont State, in which he played only three games. Given those two shortened seasons, plus the fact that his school canceled its 2020 season because of the pandemic, Zavala seems to have a good case for another year, just, you know, in general.
