Incoming Towson freshman Kelvin Amayo of NIA Prep was denied a waiver Thursday by the NCAA, multiple sources told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound combo guard says he will now look into spending a prop year at another school that accepts non-qualifiers next season rather than attend a junior college.
“I’m looking for a big prop and I have some schools right now,” Amayo said by text, declining to name the schools.
Towson does not accept non-qualifiers as part of a league rule.
As first reported by SNY.tv., Amayo was one of six NIA Prep athletes, and four basketball players, denied eligibility by the NCAA last month.
Cincinnati’s Shaq Thomas, TCU’s Ryan Rhoomes and FDU’s Ibn Muhammad were the others.
A source close to the situation said Cincinnati hopes to learn Thomas’s fate next week.
