Michigan running back Ty Isaac will sit out the entire 2014 season after his NCAA eligibility waiver appeal was denied, The Detroit Free Press reports.
After transferring from USC to be closer to his mother, the NCAA denied Isaac a hardship waiver that would've made him immediately eligible to play for the Wolverines.
Michigan appealed the decision, but received another definitive denial from the NCAA. Isaac will spend the NCAA-mandated transfer year practicing with the team.
"He's handled it great," Michigan head coach Brady Hoke said. "He's our scout running back, one of the two guys who fill that role and he had a great day yesterday. From an attitude standpoint and everything, he's been awesome."
