Redshirt senior Tywan Claxton’s appeal for a fifth season of eligibility has been denied by the NCAA.
Claxton transferred from Divsion II King University after his freshman year and redshirted his first year at Ohio University.
In that season, he wrestled in two competitions, which the NCAA counted as a full season of eligibility.
Claxton was one win away from being named an All-American last season, and he was consistently ranked in the top 15 for his weight class. He finished the season 27-5 and placed 4th in the 149 pound weight class in the MAC.
Appeal was denied, that’s all she wrote people, it’s been a good ride
