Ahmaad Moses, a free safety for SMU, has been granted a fifth year of eligibility for the 2026 college football season after a Dallas court issued a temporary restraining order. This decision allows 18 college football players, including Moses, to return for another season following the expiration of their eligibility after 2025. The ruling stems from the Wisne v. NCAA case that permits players graduating high school in 2022 to extend their college careers. Moses, who recently underwent spinal fusion surgery, had previously declared for the NFL Draft but was unable to secure a contract due to his injury. He is expected to participate in SMU's season opener against Florida State on September 7.

- •An injury kept Moses out of the NFL, making him eligible for return.
- •The court's ruling affects 18 players across college football.
