University of Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly was denied his appeal from the NCAA Committee for Legislative Relief, per a school release. Quinerly will be forced to redshirt for the 2019-20 basketball season.
“We can’t begin to express how disappointed we are with this decision,” Head coach Nate Oats said. “Jahvon and his family have been through a set of circumstances that no student-athlete in the history of the NCAA has experienced. Their name has been falsely dragged through the mud for two years, and we felt confident that the NCAA Committee for Legislative Relief would recognize this very unique set of circumstances. We will continue to support Jahvon and his family in every way that we can.”
A 6-foot-1 guard from Hackensack, N,J., Quinerly transferred from Villanova last season. During his one year with the Wildcats he averaged 3.2 points, 0.9 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game.
