Indiana football is already 3-0 this season and will be opening Big Ten play against Northwestern this week. Last week, Indiana took a 38-0 victory against Western Kentucky . In the game, Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley missed the game for Indiana due to eligibility issues. The two defensive linemen had a TRO that gave them a fifth year of eligibility, but that expired before the game, leading to the two missing the contest.
Now, the duo will be eligible to play against Northwestern, according to Pete Nakos and On3.
"Indiana's Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt have been granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA, Pete Nakos reports. Both 5th year players are now eligible for the Hoosiers," the post from On3 on X, formerly Twitter, read.

Wyatt and Daley both played four years of college football. Wyatt played three seasons at Maryland before playing last year for Indiana. Daley played three seasons at Kent State before joining Indiana last year. Wyatt started the year strong in 2025 for Indiana, with 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He was injured in the seventh game of the season against Michigan State and missed the rest of the year. Daley took over for Wyatt and finished the year with 35 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Neither player was drafted into the NFL or participated in an NFL training camp, making their eligibility more cut-and-dried than players who did see time in the NFL.
This year, Daley played in the first two games of the season, playing 32 snaps so far. He has six tackles. Wyatt did not appear in the first week, but did play nine snaps in Week 2.
Indiana kicks off against Northwestern on Friday night at 8 pm ET.
