CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris was denied in his bid for a preliminary injunction as he seeks a seventh season of eligibility.

Morris had filed a lawsuit in Charlottesville (Virginia) Circuit Court last month after the NCAA denied his medical redshirt waiver and appeal. A circuit court judge ruled against Morris on Thursday. The dispute surrounding the 25-year-old Morris involves his 2022 season with TCU and whether it should count against his eligibility. Morris suffered a knee that season and applied for a medical redshirt. The NCAA denied that request after Morris made limited appearances in three games later that season.

He passed for 3,000 yards and 16 touchdowns with nine interceptions, while also rushing for 245 yards and five touchdowns at Virginia last season.
