Texas Says 5th Year OL Cole Hutson Currently Ineligible and Appealing to NCAA to Return to Field
Cole Hutson won a Texas court ruling and is appealing to the NCAA after preseason tryouts with the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.
- On Monday, Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed that offensive lineman Cole Hutson remains ineligible to play, despite winning a court ruling that granted him a fifth year of eligibility.
- Hutson sued the NCAA in July for an extra year of eligibility after participating in NFL tryouts with the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys but failing to sign professional contracts.
- The veteran lineman played in 48 games with 23 starts across three positions before returning to Texas, distinguishing his case from players who secured professional agreements.
- Sarkisian said Hutson is working through an 'appeals process' with the NCAA, emphasizing the team is 'respecting' the SEC's decision while awaiting final clearance.
- Whether Hutson will play this season remains uncertain as the Longhorns prepare for upcoming matchups, pending NCAA and SEC determinations on his eligibility status.
