AJ Storr’s Fifth‑Year Eligibility Clears Path for UNLV’s 2026‑27 Roster

Federal injunction grants the transfer guard an extra season, positioning the Rebels for a more stable campaign

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas announced that guard AJ Storr has committed to the program for the 2026‑27 season, a move that could finally lock down the Rebels’ lineup after a series of roster reshuffles.

The commitment follows a federal court decision that granted Storr a temporary injunction, preserving his fifth year of NCAA eligibility after a lawsuit brought by the Texas Trial Group.

Storr’s college career has taken him through St. John’s, Wisconsin, Kansas and Ole Miss, where he displayed flashes of high‑level performance before a dip in minutes and output at Kansas.

At Wisconsin he started 36 games as a sophomore and averaged 16.8 points per game, while his most recent season at Ole Miss saw him rebound with a 15‑point per game average.

His arrival is being viewed as the missing piece that could give UNLV the depth it needs to compete in the upcoming season, especially after the program’s recent struggles to assemble a consistent rotation.

A Fifth‑Year Boost for the Rebels

With Storr’s eligibility secured, UNLV can now plan its non‑conference schedule knowing that the guard will be available for the full slate of games, a factor that could influence seeding and tournament positioning.
