Judge denies Virginia QB Chandler Morris' bid for seventh year of college eligibility

A judge has ruled against Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris, ending his pursuit of a seventh season of college eligibility. The decision effectively closes the quarterback’s collegiate career, as he will no longer be able to compete at the NCAA level.

Morris had sought the additional year in an effort to extend his time in college football, but the court’s denial means he must now move on from the sport in an official capacity. With the ruling finalized, Morris’ playing days at Virginia are over, and he will not return to the field for the program.

Virginia now turns its attention to the upcoming season without the veteran quarterback, whose bid for an unprecedented seventh year has been formally rejected.
