"Grant-Foster's eligibility case was a complicated one. Originally a member of the high school class of 2018, he played two seasons at Indian Hills Community College before transferring to Kansas. He played 22 games for the Jayhawks in 2020-2021 and then transferred to DePaul. At halftime of the Blue Demons' first game of the 2021-22 season, Grant-Foster collapsed in the locker room and was rushed to the hospital. He underwent multiple heart surgeries and missed the next 16 months."
"The NCAA considered Grant-Foster's two years at Indian Hills and two years at Grand Canyon as his four years of eligibility, while Grant-Foster's lawyers argued that the blanket waiver given to former junior college transfers in December 2024 gives him another year. Monday's development is a notable one for Gonzaga, as Grant-Foster is a candidate to start up front alongside preseason All-WCC first-teamers Graham Ike and Braden Huff."
Gonzaga forward Tyon Grant-Foster received a Spokane County judge's preliminary injunction allowing him to play this season after the NCAA denied his eligibility waiver. Grant-Foster began in the high school class of 2018, played two seasons at Indian Hills Community College, transferred to Kansas (22 games in 2020-2021), then moved to DePaul where he collapsed during the 2021-22 opener, underwent multiple heart surgeries and missed 16 months. He returned at Grand Canyon for 2023-24, won WAC Player of the Year, averaged 20.1 points and helped lead the Lopes to their first NCAA tournament win. Gonzaga may start him alongside Graham Ike and Braden Huff.
