Former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Wesley Bissainthe has joined the lawsuit seeking a fifth year of college eligibility, according to reporting from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
Bissainthe joins several others, including Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jordan Hudson and his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate, wide receiver Omari Evans, in a lawsuit that now includes dozens of former college football players looking to extend their careers. Bissainthe signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent after not being selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
A temporary restraining order has been issued allowing the group to return to college.
However, on Wednesday, the ACC joined the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC in banning professional players from returning to campus. While Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Bissainthe is a strong candidate to make the KC practice squad, there have been no indications as to whether he would prefer to return to Miami or even enter the transfer portal instead.
