UIL clears Hackney to play for Argyle after residency ruling

Hayes Hackney is eligible to play immediately for Argyle after a unanimous UIL ruling confirmed his residency on October 29.

That is the decision, and it is the part that matters for the quarterback’s eligibility. The ruling clears him to participate now. It does not call for another round of guesswork about whether he can take the field.

The football evaluation can follow the football. Hackney’s eligibility has been settled by the body responsible for deciding it.
