NCAA denies Drew Singleton’s appeal to return to Rutgers

The NCAA has denied Rutgers’ linebacker Drew Singleton’s appeal for reinstatement for the 2022 season.

Singleton went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft after suffering an injury during the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl that hindered his progress. The linebacker was interested in returning to the Scarlet Knights but head coach Greg Schiano announced Monday that the NCAA has rejected his appeal.

“The NCAA ruled against us,” Schiano said. “So there is another step, a last step that we are certainly going to try. Really disappointed.”

Singleton had declared for the 2022 NFL Draft following a loss to Maryland, which was thought to be the season-finale for Rutgers.
