Long hair, NCAA does care.
Wolf Pack linebacker Gabe Sewell has long, flowing locks that typically spill out from underneath his helmet. But during Nevada’s game at San Jose State last Saturday, the locks were gone.
Either Sewell had cut his hair or he had tucked it into his helmet. On Tuesday, Sewell revealed on his Instagram page it was the latter of the two and that he was not pleased with doing so.
As a freshman, Sewell is prohibited from talking to the media under the Wolf Pack’s team rules but he said on Instagram the game's officials told him he had to tuck his hair into his helmet or be faced with an ejection.
