Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar, who would have been an opposing starting quarterback in Texas’ SEC opener in 2026, was denied a preliminary injunction by the NCAA in a lawsuit requesting additional eligibility.
“Aguilar’s attorneys tried to argue that his junior college years should not count against his NCAA eligibility. Aguilar spent two years at the City College of San Francisco (2019-20) and two years Diablo Valley College (2021-22) before signing with Appalachian State ahead of the 2023 season. That was not a sufficient enough argument to win him the same type of temporary injunction against the NCAA that will allow Chambliss to play another year in Oxford, and barring an unforeseen reversal via a quick appeal, Aguilar will not be back in a Volunteer uniform this fall.”
