The Austin Kafentzis saga took another turn Monday, as the former Jordan High quarterback's appeal to play for Nevada this season was denied by the NCAA.

Kafentzis, whose name is all over the Utah high school state record books, was hoping to be eligible for the Wolfpack this fall after transferring in the spring from Wisconsin before his freshman season began. With Monday's decision, however, he'll have to sit out the year, per transfer rules.

The news was first reported by Chris Murray of the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Utah's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2012 and 2014, Kafentzis committed to Wisconsin early in his prep career, but then-Badgers head coach Gary Andersen left for Oregon State after last season and Kafentzis was buried on the Wisconsin depth chart during spring ball.
