Two undrafted Kansas City Chiefs players, Wesley Bissainthe and Omari Evans, now have the opportunity to return to college football after a recent NCAA eligibility ruling. Both players entered the league as free agents in 2026 but could qualify for an additional season under the new rules. A Texas judge issued a temporary restraining order that prevents the NCAA and the SEC from blocking these and other players from returning to college sports.
The court's decision allows Bissainthe and Evans, along with Dallas Cowboys receiver Jordan Hudson, to potentially return to college football if they meet the eligibility requirements. However, the ruling does not guarantee their return to the Kansas City Chiefs, as they may choose college football, missing the 2026 NFL season. The ruling could also impact college football in the future, as the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC have introduced restrictions on former professional players joining college sports.
