Rutgers coach Chris Ash on asking NCAA to give Janarion Grant a 5th-year: 'We'll petition for 1'

PISCATAWAY — Apparently there's some hope that Janarion Grant hasn't played his last game for Rutgers after all.

One day after Grant, the Scarlet Knights' star wide receiver/return specialist, was declared out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury suffered late in the first half of Rutgers' 14-7 loss to Iowa on Saturday, Ash said school officials will "submit the necessary documents to try to petition for'' a medical redshirt.

At first glance, it appears to be a long shot but Ash noted there can be exceptions.
