UCF's Tre Nixon ruled eligible by the NCAA to play in 2018

Speedy receiver Tre Nixon, who spent the past two seasons at Ole Miss before transferring to UCF in January, is immediately eligible to play this season after receiving a waiver from the NCAA according to a report which was confirmed by a team source.

USA Today’s Dan Wolken was the first to report the news from Nixon’s attorney, Tom Mars.

The former Viera High star was among a handful of former Rebels seeking a waiver from the NCAA including safety Deontay Anderson (Houston) and Jarrio Street (UAB). All three have been cleared to play in 2018.
