Go get Curry back lol

Other Ohio State scholarship players who exhausted their eligibility last season that would have had a fifth year of eligibility under the new rule change were running back CJ Donaldson, defensive end Caden Curry, linebacker Sonny Styles and cornerback Davison Igbinosun

Caden Curry signed a 4 year rookie contract with the Indianapolis Colts worth $4.586,532. The deal includes an average annual salary of $1,146,633 and $206,532 in total guaranteed money, coming from a fully guaranteed signing bonus.

Sonny Styles signed a 4 year fully guaranteed rookie contract worth $37,211,582 with the Washington Commanders after being selected 7th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Former Ohio State Kicker Jayden Fielding Filing Lawsuit Against NCAA to Enter Transfer Portal for Fifth Year of Eligibility​

Jayden Fielding is suing the NCAA for the opportunity to play a fifth year of college football somewhere other than Ohio State.

Fielding’s attorney, Darren Heitner, told CBS Sports on Thursday that Fielding is filing a lawsuit against the NCAA, seeking the ability to enter the transfer portal and play a fifth season of college football.



Heitner, an attorney who specializes in representing college athletes, has represented a multitude of athletes from the 2022 recruiting class seeking the opportunity to use their fifth year of eligibility after the NCAA changed its eligibility model to give all current and future athletes five years of eligibility.

The news of Fielding’s lawsuit comes one day after a group of 16 former college football players – including multiple players who signed NFL contracts this offseason – received a temporary restraining order against the NCAA in Louisiana allowing them to enter the transfer portal and play a fifth year of college football.
