The story so far

Cole Hutson has rejoined the Texas Longhorns football team. The offensive lineman has reached an agreement with the NCAA to gain a fifth year of eligibility. This follows a court ruling that allowed him to return to the team.

The agreement with the NCAA is the latest development in a legal battle that has kept Hutson's status in limbo. The NCAA had initially denied his request for a fifth year, but a court ruling allowed him to return to the team while the legal process continued. The Austin American-Statesman notes that the legal process is not yet complete, and Hutson's status could still change.

The NCAA has not released details of the agreement. The NCAA has not commented on whether Hutson's case qualifies as a hardship or injury.
