Former Kansas defensive end Dean Miller has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an additional year of eligibility, which he hopes to use to transfer to UCF.
The lawsuit, first reported by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, was filed in the Orange County Ninth Circuit Court on Monday.
Miller is not currently enrolled at UCF and the school is awaiting the results of the lawsuit before finishing the enrollment process.
He's seeking an injunction similar to the one former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia received that challenged eligibility rules that counted seasons played at a junior college against a player's four years of eligibility at a Division I school.
The Los Angeles native began his career at the College of the Canyons, a junior college in Santa Clarita, Calif., in 2021. He enrolled at Arkansas in 2022 before transferring to Kansas in 2023, where he appeared in 36 games, totaling 65 tackles, including 13.5 for a loss with seven sacks for the Jayhawks.
