TEMPE, Ariz.—Arizona State wrestling’s heavyweight Chace Eskam has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, head coach Zeke Jones announced on Friday.
The 2015 Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year and conference runner-up in his weight class last season, Eskam was granted a final year to compete for the Sun Devils following the successful cancer battle that sidelined him during his sophomore year.
“We’re excited to have Chace back for his sixth year,” Jones said. “Obviously he’s a tremendous student-athlete, so to have somebody of his character, with his leadership and ability to perform both in the classroom and on the wrestling mat is great for the team.
