Georgia safety JaCorey Thomas plans to sue NCAA for eligibility

Georgia safety JaCorey Thomas intends to file a lawsuit against the NCAA in hopes of securing a fifth year of eligibility. This plan follows a decision that allows athletes from the 2022 class, who have not been drafted or signed to a professional contract, to seek another season. Thomas played six games in his freshman 2022 season but was not significantly involved in subsequent years, culminating in a pivotal 2025 season where he logged 45 tackles. He was ejected for targeting during the Sugar Bowl, impacting the conclusion of his college career. If successful, the lawsuit could allow him to return to college football and enter the transfer portal.
