Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris on Tuesday filed a suit against the NCAA in Charlottesville, Va. Circuit Court as the six-year college football veteran pursues a seventh year of eligibility.
Morris is arguing that the NCAA should have granted him a medical redshirt back in 2022, when he suffered a knee injury during TCU’s season-opener against Colorado, according to court documents obtained by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports. Morris missed the next seven games and only appeared in three more during the season in backup duty as the Horned Frogs rode then-second stringer Max Duggan to a 13-win season and a national championship game appearance. Morris suffered from mental health issues in the aftermath of his injury-riddled year to the point where he told The Dallas Morning News in August of 2024 that he had “despised the game.”
