GRAND FORKS — Defensive backs Jonnie Wiltshire and Avery Scott are set to play in the UND Fighting Hawks' season opener on Thursday, according to head coach Eric Schmidt. The Hawks, currently ranked No. 10, will host Long Island University at 7 p.m. at the Alerus Center. Both Wiltshire and Scott are eligible for a fifth season following temporary restraining orders issued in July.
Their eligibility hinges on a 14-day hearing from the recent Wisne vs. NCAA ruling, which was temporarily halted by the Tenth Circuit of Appeals. UND faces St. Thomas on September 5 at the Alerus Center, with safety Jy Martin and long snapper David Neuberger also seeking a fifth season, though they lack in-state clearance like Wiltshire and Scott.
