EDINBORO, Pa. — Edinboro University received word today from the NCAA that wrestler Jarrod King has been granted a sixth year of eligibility. King now seeks to become Edinboro’s first two-time Division I national champion after capturing the 165 lb. crown this past March. Combined with the recent news that Phil Moricone would also receive a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA, head coach Tim Flynn’s lineup has taken on a decidedly different and more imposing look.

King transferred to Edinboro two years ago after spending three injury-filled seasons at Oklahoma. He redshirted in 2004-05 thanks to a shoulder injury, then posted a 16-9 record for the Sooners at 165 lbs. in 2005-06. The following year he was again felled by s shoulder injury, going 6-2 while missing almost the entire season. The NCAA deemed that King had missed two full seasons due to separate injuries and therefore granted the sixth year of eligibility.
