Kellan Wyatt, a defensive end for Indiana football, plans to return for the 2026 season. His decision follows a District Court's preliminary injunction allowing athletes from the 2022 high school class an additional year of eligibility under the NCAA's new "five-for-five" rule. Wyatt previously recorded eight tackles for loss in his first seven games of the 2025 season but suffered a season-ending knee injury. His return will provide a veteran presence for the Hoosiers, contingent on the outcome of ongoing legal challenges to the NCAA's ruling.
