Jalen Washington eligible for Tennessee basketball after court ruling

Jalen Washington remains eligible to play for Tennessee basketball despite a recent ruling affecting other Class of 2022 athletes. A stay by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on August 21 put a hold on a broader eligibility ruling issued by Judge Charlotte Sweeney, but Washington's own state court injunction protects his status. Following a successful season at Vanderbilt, Washington transferred to Tennessee, bolstering the roster as the team incorporated several new players this offseason. He is expected to start at center, contributing to a revamped lineup.
