Rutgers University Football schedule for 2025
Rutgers football safety Jett Elad has won a preliminary injunction that will grant him eligibility for the 2025 season, according to a decision released by United States District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on Friday.
Elad, who transferred to Rutgers from UNLV, filed a lawsuit against the NCAA hoping to block the institution from enforcing its five-year rule, which allows for four competitive seasons in a five-year timeframe.
Elad and Rutgers argued that Elad’s year at Garden City Community College in 2022 should not count toward his eligibility.
This will be Elad’s seventh season of college football.
He previously spent three years at Ohio University before his JUCO year – he redshirted in 2019 and 2020, which didn’t count toward his eligibility after the NCAA issued a waiver to all athletes because of the pandemic.
Much of the reason for Elad’s argument stemmed from the ruling the NCAA made on Diego Pavia, the Vanderbilt quarterback who won an NCAA injunction before last season after he argued his JUCO year shouldn’t count toward his eligibility clock.
In December, the NCAA announced that athletes would be eligible for 2025-26 if they competed at a “non-NCAA school for one or two years” previously and would have exhausted their eligibility following the 2024-25 year.
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano testified in Elad’s case.
The court’s decision is a major win for the Scarlet Knights, who will have one of their top impact transfers available next season.
