Indiana State Court Grants Fifth Year of Eligibility to Hoosiers Athletes
An Indiana state court issued a preliminary injunction, granting a fifth year of eligibility to Indiana Hoosiers defensive linemen Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt, along with over 90 other athletes, allowing them to return to play.
Marquette, MI, September 23, 2026 — An Indiana state court has issued a preliminary injunction that will allow over 90 college athletes, including Indiana Hoosiers defensive linemen Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt, to compete for a fifth year of eligibility.
The court’s ruling means that these athletes, who would typically have exhausted their eligibility, will be permitted to return to play for another season. The decision specifically names Daley and Wyatt, identifying them as defensive linemen for the Indiana Hoosiers football program.
The injunction, which is preliminary in nature, grants immediate relief to the affected student-athletes by providing them with an additional year of collegiate athletic eligibility. This ruling is a significant development for the athletes involved, potentially altering their final college sports careers.
The exact number of athletes benefiting from this preliminary injunction exceeds 90 individuals. The scope of the ruling suggests a broader issue concerning athletic eligibility rules at the collegiate level.
