All-Conference College Football QB Denied 7th Season of Eligibility

Ohio redshirt senior quarterback Parker Navarro's request for an additional year of eligibility has been denied by the NCAA. Navarro, who played four seasons with Ohio and previously transferred from UCF, sought an extension to continue his college football career but has accepted the NCAA's decision. Over the past two seasons as Ohio's starting quarterback, Navarro achieved a 20-6 record, led the team to a conference championship, and secured two bowl victories. He amassed 4,798 passing yards with 27 touchdowns and 1,932 rushing yards with 27 touchdowns during his tenure. Navarro initially joined UCF as part of the 2020 recruiting class and spent two seasons there before transferring to Ohio. Despite his efforts to extend his eligibility, Navarro will now focus on pursuing a professional football career.
