T.J. Harden Enters NCAA Transfer Portal After Court Ruling

T.J. Harden, a running back recently waived by the Seattle Seahawks, has announced his decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This move comes after a court ruling that allows certain college players, including Harden, to gain an extra season of eligibility.

Harden previously played three seasons at UCLA before transferring to SMU for his senior year, accumulating 2,445 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns over his college career. After going undrafted in the NFL, he signed with the Cleveland Browns but was waived shortly after. He joined the Seahawks, where he participated in a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The court ruling that benefits Harden is part of a broader legal effort by a group of players seeking additional eligibility due to recent NCAA rule changes. While the temporary restraining order does not finalize the lawsuit, it allows Harden to explore further opportunities in college football.
