Sep 04, 2026
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — A Monroe Circuit Court in Bloomington, Indiana, has issued a temporary restraining order Friday, allowing fifth-year eligibility for several former Indiana University athletes. It includes IU football star defensive linemen Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt and others,
according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Former IU football standouts Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt, former IU basketball forward Malik Reneau, swimmers Owen McDonald and Zalán Sárkány, and IU volleyball’s Avry Tatum have all been granted fifth-year eligibility.
The ruling allows the former IU athletes to play for their teams and compete this season if they are able to meet academic requirements.
Daley and Wyatt were both key defensive linemen during the Hoosiers’ 16-0 season and win in the national championship game. The two linemen combined for 84 tackles and 16.5 sacks last season.
A hearing is set for September 11th to revisit the motion.
