Ugbo Status - BJ Confirm

#1 · September 11, 2023, 5:48 pm

Can BJ or BNN staff confirm Emmanuel Ugbo's s status with the team? I have checked the roster on Broncosports.com and he is listed. However, he wasn't on the team photo in a recent tweet (2 Sep). Also, he wasn't on the Canada trip due to finishing up some euro tournament.

I am not sure he will be a regular contributor this season (if he is still on the team), but he had a solid U19 showing earlier this summer.

I heard a rumor that he has been ruled ineligible and has to sit out this season.

Figures. He must have lost the coin flip decision at the NCAA offices since that's how it seems they rule if a player is eligible or not. Better yet they dont justify their decisions in any way either

I guess I have my question answered. I just checked the Broncosports website and Ugbo is no longer listed on the roster.

He's working through the admissions process with Boise State and not enrolled yet or with the team. The plan was for him to redshirt anyway this season, so as long as they can get it figured out and get him here at some point, it's not really a big deal.

Thanks. From what I read, he was a force for his U18 team this summer. I think BSU should continue to work through his admissions issues so he can join the team.

He was at the scrimmage on Saturday, met him in person. Didn't get into status with him, just welcomed him to Bronco Nation.

Hi Rudy! It’s a shame I had to miss the tailgate. Glad you got to meet him.
