INDIANAPOLIS — Rutgers linebacker Drew Singleton is awaiting a response from the NCAA regarding an appeal to return to Piscataway, head coach Greg Schiano said on Wednesday during Big Ten Media Days.
Singleton’s initial waiver request was denied and now the team awaits a decision on his appeal. Schiano believes that Singleton deserves the chance to come back.
“Here’s a guy that wants to come back, provide for his family, he wants to get his master’s,” Schiano said. “He has an opportunity to do that. He’s an inner-city Newark kid. And we’re going to deny him that right?
