Fifth-Year Frenzy: Class of 2022 Eligibility Chaos Keeps Rolling

A Colorado ruling granting a fifth year to Class of 2022 athletes was paused by a 10th Circuit stay, temporarily restoring ineligibility unless players have separate TROs. However, state-court rulings (Louisiana, Kentucky) continue to allow some players to return or transfer, with examples like Luke Drzewiecki signing with Minnesota and Thomas Castellanos receiving a TRO. With more lawsuits anticipated as the season approaches, the chaos remains dynamic for both college football and basketball, and SEC transfer rules are under scrutiny as intraconference moves could be challenged.

Rookie Buccaneer among 16 suing for college football comeback after TRO

A Louisiana judge granted temporary restraining orders to 16 players, including Buccaneers rookie Jack Pyburn and former LSU standout, enabling them to potentially return to college football in 2026 as part of a broader challenge to NCAA eligibility rules; the TRO provides immediate relief but is not a final ruling, and the cases hinge on the NCAA's five-year clock and players who have NFL contracts.

Court ruling could unlock fifth-year comebacks in college hoops

A Colorado court injunction could allow 2022 seniors to play a fifth season in 2026-27, triggering a second wave of lawsuits to regain college eligibility. The NCAA plans an expedited appeal as Ohio and Tennessee have already granted some players fifth-year relief under state rulings. Notable names like Donovan Dent, Jordan Pope, Malik Reneau, Jaxon Kohler and Skyy Clark are pursuing eligibility, though roster limits and funding may limit some moves. Braden Smith is technically eligible but is not expected to return. The upheaval promises ongoing roster chaos across college basketball this offseason.

Ex-Tennessee Guard Eyes New Home After Eligibility Rule Change

Former Tennessee guard B.J. Edwards is re-entering the transfer portal after three seasons at SMU, aided by NCAA eligibility rule changes allowing an extra year of play following lawsuits; Edwards previously signed an Exhibit-10 with the Sacramento Kings and appeared in the NBA Summer League, but a reunion with Tennessee is unlikely as the Vols boast a deep backcourt and are pursuing other targets.

OK AG urges Big 12 to suspend Brendan Sorsby despite court order

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond urged the Big 12 to suspend Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby even though a court order has restored his eligibility after the NCAA deemed him permanently ineligible for extensive wagering; he argues the order applies to the NCAA, not the conference, and calls for sanctions if Texas Tech won’t act. Supporters say the court order stands unless reversed, so Sorsby remains eligible to play, while critics frame the move as political theatrics tied to broader debates over sports governance and antitrust considerations.

Sorsby’s Eligibility Battle Could Pivot to the NFL Supplemental Draft

Brendan Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech after starring at Cincinnati, is fighting an NCAA eligibility ruling that could push him toward the 2026 NFL supplemental draft if denied. The process is lottery-based and tiered, with teams bidding for players and losing a 2027 college pick if they select someone in the supplemental rounds. NFL evaluators praised his athleticism and arm, signaling potential interest from several teams, but much hinges on the court ruling and how the NFL would handle any resulting eligibility issues. Sorsby plans a pro day in Dallas and private workouts if he enters the draft while the injunction decision looms.

Jets Weigh Supplemental-Draft Gamble on Brendan Sorsby as Potential Franchise QB

The Jets are considering a bid in the NFL supplemental draft for Brendan Sorsby, a Cincinnati starter who transferred to Texas Tech, hoping he could become a franchise quarterback. Sorsby is currently dealing with a gambling-related eligibility probe that could either delay his college career or bar him, potentially pushing his future to the July supplemental draft if the ban is enforced. A successful bid would cost the Jets a 2027 pick, complicating the decision given Geno Smith, Cade Klubnik, and a strong 2027 quarterback class. The ultimate move depends on the NCAA ruling and the Jets’ appetite for risk and long-term upside.
