Cole Hutson gets fifth season of eligibility at Texas

Texas Longhorns offensive lineman Cole Hutson has secured a fifth season of eligibility from the NCAA. Hutson's attorney confirmed the decision, which comes after new eligibility rules allow athletes from the class of 2022 who haven't signed a professional contract or redshirted to gain an additional year. Having started all 13 games as a freshman, Hutson brings experience to a line that includes standout players like Trevor Goosby and Melvin Siani. Last season, he faced injuries that sidelined him for three games, impacting his performance as he alternated between positions.
