According to reports, the NCAA has ruled a Texas A&M guard ineligible to play for the 2026 season, pending an appeal.
Bryson Warren's eligibility waiver request was denied, but he could still fight to regain an extra year with the Aggies through a lawsuit if he chooses. The 6-foot-3, 191-pounder has averaged 14.3 points and 4.1 ***** ists in 27.6 minutes per game in the last three seasons in the NBA's G League. He committed to Texas A&M in the spring, but it was going to be an uphill battle against the NCAA to see the floor at Reed Arena in 2026.
He skipped the collegiate level and went straight to the G League after graduating from Link Academy in 2024. The undrafted guard has yet to sign a two-way contract or play in an NBA game.
This isn't the first instance of a G League player attempting to rejoin the college ranks, however. Santa Clara's Thierry Darlan, Louisville's London Johnson, and even former Texas A&M guard Rubén Dominguez, who took the international pipeline before landing in College Station under Bucky McMillan during the 2025-26 season.
For Warren to regain eligibility and potentially compete for the Aggies in 2026, he must seek a temporary restraining order, much like Texas transfer Jordan Pope, who was just granted an extra year on Tuesday. Rashaun Agee also needed a court injunction to gain an additional season, which he spent with Texas A&M last season.
