Morris Sues NCAA

Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris is reportedly taking the NCAA to court.

Morris has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Virginia state court for a seventh year of eligibility, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

Morris, 25, is taking this legal action after his waiver for a seventh year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA in early January.

According to Nakos, Morris has retained JP Kernisan and Ben O’Neil for his legal representation.

The standout quarterback is coming off his one and only year at Virginia in 2025, leading the Cavaliers to an ACC title game appearance and a program-record 11 victories, the last of which was a win over Missouri in the Gator Bowl. Morris earned Gator Bowl MVP honors.

For the season, Morris completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 3,000 yards and 16 touchdowns with nine interceptions, while also rushing for 245 yards and five more scores on the ground.

Morris came to UVA to play for former Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott after playing at North Texas in 2024. Before that, Morris was at TCU from 2021-23. He began his college career at Oklahoma in 2020.

Of course, Chandler is the son of Chad Morris, who was re-hired as Clemson’s new offensive coordinator in early January after previously serving as the Tigers’ OC from 2011-14.

In his college career, Chandler has thrown for 9,185 and 63 touchdowns with 26 interceptions. He has also rushed for 887 yards and 15 touchdowns.
