Better late than never for Braxton Beverly.
After the NCAA twice ruled him ineligible to play for the N.C. State Wolfpack this season, the freshman guard was granted immediate eligibility on Tuesday and will be in uniform for the Wolfpack’s game with Bryant Tuesday night at PNC Arena.
N.C. State spokesman Fred Demarest said the school received word that the NCAA had ruled in N.C. State’s favor on its request to reconsider its earlier rulings that Beverly would have to sit out one season as an undergraduate transfer.
Beverly enrolled at Ohio State last May and took summer classes for one month before that school fired basketball coach Thad Matta.
