Rutgers received good news on Thursday, as it was announced that former Boston College quarterback Johnny Langan, who transferred into the program this offseason, won his appeal with the NCAA and is eligible for the upcoming season. He was originally ruled ineligible due to transfer rules, but his appeal overturned that decision and he received the waiver to play this season. Langan announced the news on his instagram page and was confirmed by NJ Advanced Media as well.
The details of Langan’s transfer case have not been disclosed, but in a climate when most transfers have been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA, it was disappointing that his situation didn’t receive the same result.
