NCAA Rules on Chandler Morris’ Bid for Another Year

The NCAA has made a ruling on Chandler Morris’ bid for another year in college.

Morris’ waiver for a seventh year of eligibility has been denied by the NCAA, according to multiple reports.

The standout quarterback has spent one 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 a 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 recently re-hired as Clemson’s new offensive coordinator 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.
