Sterling Webb files for temporary restraining order against Missouri
Summary

Missouri defensive tackle Sterling Webb has filed for a temporary restraining order against the University of Missouri. The legal action seeks to prohibit the football program from excluding him from team activities, including practice, competition, and travel during the 2026-27 season. Webb is also requesting protection against the withholding or reduction of his name, image, and likeness compensation. This filing follows a separate legal effort by the athlete involving the NCAA. Meanwhile, the Missouri football team prepares for its season opener, while the women’s volleyball program recently moved to 3-1 following a loss to Oregon. The university also secured a commitment from gymnast Paityn Adams and announced the 2026-27 SEC schedule for the women’s basketball team.
