Linebacker Keandre Jones, who transferred from Ohio State to Maryland in late January, said Thursday that he is still hopeful of playing for the Terps in 2019 as he awaits an answer from the NCAA regarding his hardship waiver.
Jones did not get into the details surrounding his request for the waiver. He is currently practicing with the Terps and trying to finish his undergraduate course load.
According to NCAA rules, undergraduate transfers must sit out a year after enrolling at a new school unless a waiver is granted.
