Tennessee senior quarterback Joey Aguilar was granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA for eligibility, according to Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel.
“Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar has been granted a temporary restraining order against NCAA eligibility rules by a Knoxville judge,” Sparks said. “It serves as the first step toward his potential return for the Vols in the 2026 season.”
Aguilar’s temporary restraining order comes after filing a lawsuit for an extra year of eligibility.
In 2025, Aguilar completed 272-of-404 passing attempts for 3,565 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 13 games during first season at Tennessee. He also recorded 101 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
Aguilar transferred to Tennessee from UCLA after 2025 spring football practices. He never played in a game for the Bruins after transferring to UCLA from Appalachian State following the 2024 campaign.
He served as Appalachian State’s starting quarterback from 2023-24 after playing at Diablo Valley Community College (2021-22).
