T.J. Harden plans to enter NCAA transfer portal after Seahawks release
Summary

T.J. Harden, recently waived by the Seattle Seahawks, intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Harden, who previously played for SMU and UCLA, seeks another college football opportunity after a Louisiana court ruling potentially changes eligibility rules for players. This ruling follows lawsuits aimed at allowing former college athletes who completed four seasons to gain a fifth year. Harden's case may set a precedent for others in similar situations, including Seahawks running back Anthony Hankerson, who is also affected by the ruling.
