How 2 NFL rookies entered CFB transfer portal along with 5 others
Well, this is a surprise.
Former college football players are being granted a fifth season of eligibility by a Louisiana judge, following a Colorado court ruling. Seven players who were part of the lawsuit have entered the NCAA transfer portal to return to college football. The seven players are TJ Harden of SMU, Dae Quan Wright of Ole Miss, Zxavian Harris of BYU, Weylin Lapuaho of BYU, Trent Hendrick of James Madison, Ethan Johnson of Appalachian State, and Luke Drzewiecki of New Mexico.
Wright and Harris are currently active with undrafted free agent status, being with the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints respectively. They and the other five players will be eligible to return to college competition with new teams. This development is a significant shift for college football, as it would have been considered unlikely a few years ago for NFL rookies to return to college after not making a team's roster. The NCAA is likely to appeal the decision.
