Three Ole Miss players granted eligibility for 2026 college football season

Three former Ole Miss football players, Dae'Quan Wright, Zxavian Harris, and Wydett Williams, received a temporary restraining order allowing them to play college football in 2026. The order permits these players to join college rosters if they are waived by NFL teams by September 1. This legal decision marks a step beyond previous NCAA rulings, enabling these athletes to transfer and compete after having signed with NFL teams. Wright, who excelled as a tight end with 39 receptions and five touchdowns in 2025, is currently in training camp with the Cleveland Browns, while Williams is with the Arizona Cardinals and Harris was recently waived by the New Orleans Saints.
