Joey Aguilar

ANALYSIS
After filing a lawsuit Jan. 30 in pursuit of a sixth season of eligibility in 2026, Aguilar was granted a temporary restraining order shortly thereafter while he waited for the injunction hearing on his case. Though Aguilar's attorneys argued that the two seasons he played in junior college shouldn't count toward his four seasons of eligibility at the Division I level, chancery Christopher D. Heagerty ultimately turned down the quarterback's request. Aguilar is now expected to turn his attention to the professional ranks and take part in the NFL Scouting Combine next week. After making the jump up from the JuCo ranks, the signal-caller was a two-year starter for Appalachian State before transferring to Tennessee ahead of the 2025 campaign. He enjoyed a productive campaign while guiding the Volunteers to an 8-5 record, completing 66.8 percent of his passes for 3,444 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while adding 101 yards and four scores on the ground.
