(KCBD) -Texas Tech backup quarterback Thomas Castellanos is now eligible to play, according to a report listed by On3 Friday afternoon, granted by Judge Brian Edwards of the Jefferson County Circuit Court.

On3's article states:"Per the order, the NCAA cannot bar the athletes from participating in the 2026-27 season if they already used their four years of eligibility. The association also cannot enforce its rule of restitution and its "ghost transfer rule against the athletes, any school for which they compete or any school they compete against."Two weeks ago, Castellanos was ruled ineligible following a ruling from the Kentucky Court of Appeals and Friday's court hearing was expected. He also joins Missouri's Mark Mitchell and Louisville's Seth Trimble as college athletes cleared to play. Castellanos, who made his Red Raider debut on Sept. 12 at Oregon State, has thrown for two touchdowns and has rushed for two more in his three games of play. He was announced as Red Raider in late August, and has previously started for UCF, Boston College, and Florida State.
