Alberto Osuna awaits NCAA eligibility decision for Tennessee baseball

Alberto Osuna, a former junior college baseball player, is seeking an injunction to regain his Division I eligibility to play for Tennessee after transferring from North Carolina. His case is similar to that of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who recently won a ruling allowing him an additional year of eligibility, prompting Osuna to pursue a similar path. Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello expressed optimism about Osuna's potential eligibility but noted that the situation is complicated by NCAA regulations and ongoing legal discussions. Osuna played three seasons at North Carolina, but with his Division I eligibility expired, he had initially transferred to a Division II program before entering the transfer portal for Tennessee. The NCAA has recently granted waivers for former junior college transfers, which could work in Osuna's favor. With Tennessee's season opener approaching, the urgency for a decision on Osuna's eligibility is increasing.
