Indiana defensive ends Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt regain eligibility
Summary

Indiana defensive ends Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt are eligible to play in Saturday's season opener against North Texas. A judge granted a temporary restraining order on Thursday to restore their playing status. The players initially lost eligibility when the NCAA obtained a stay in a lawsuit involving class of 2022 athletes. Both Daley and Wyatt, who missed significant time last season due to injury, are now listed on the team's official roster. Their return strengthens a defensive line that also added transfers Chiddi Obiazor and Tobi Osunsanmi. This reinforcement arrives as Indiana prepares for a challenging mid-season schedule featuring several top-ranked Big Ten quarterbacks.
