Report: Wisconsin denies 4-star signee Jordan Stevenson admission

Mary Langenfeld-US PRESSWIRE / Reuters

Wisconsin has reportedly denied admission to a highly sought-after running back from the class of 2015.

Jordan Stevenson, a four-star signee, tweeted Thursday that he would not be joining the Badgers and didn't specify a reason.

Stevenson found out Wisconsin's chancellor had denied him admission Thursday, reports 247Sports' Ryan Bartow, who adds that Stevenson found out from head coach Paul Chryst and running backs coach John Settle. Retweets from Stevenson's personal Twitter account seem to support the story.

Head coach Paul Chryst told ESPN late in June that Stevenson was not enrolled in summer classes, but was expected to be with the team for fall camp.

"With all do respect my recruitment is official open to any Division One program for the 2015 season," Stevenson said in a now-deleted tweet.
