Fifth Year Eligibility in Court | Missouri Tigers Football News

Two college athletes, golfer Carter Loflin and footballer Sterling Webb, both left high school in 2022 and played four seasons, now racing to get a fifth year under NCAA rules. Webb won a temporary court victory in Missouri, allowing him to play while his case continues — with protections for his scholarship and NIL deals — but it’s not a final win. Loflin’s case fell through when Georgia’s roster deadline passed before a ruling could come, leaving him without legal clarity. The stark difference? Webb filed early and got a court order before his season started; Loflin’s timing clashed with golf’s tight schedule. This highlights how NCAA eligibility rules are creating a patchwork of outcomes — some athletes get extra years, others don’t — all because of when lawsuits hit the courts and how sports calendars move.
