Friday night was Senior Night for Rutgers Wrestling. The program had advertised the five seniors who would be honored; the list didn’t include Anthony Ashnault. Despite the fact he hadn’t wrestled all season, this was the senior’s fifth - and traditionally final - year.
We noted that in an earlier post and maybe this is the reason: Rutgers is appealing to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility for the 141-pounder.
More pre-match news: Anthony Ashnault is officially shut down for the rest of the season. Petition for a 6th year has been filed.
