Houston Cougars guard Terrance Arceneaux was granted an NCAA hardship waiver appeal for 2023-24 after suffering a season-ending injury earlier that year, Head Coach Kelvin Sampson announced Thursday.

Arceneaux now will compete as a sophomore during the 2024-25 season and have three years of eligibility remaining.

Arceneaux competed in the first 11 games of the 2023-24 season before tearing the Achilles tendon in his right leg only five-and-a-half minutes into the Cougars' 70-66 win over Texas A&M inside Toyota Center during The Halal Guys Showcase.

Prior to the injury, Arceneaux was averaging 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. He scored a season-high 10 points in the Cougars' home win over Stetson and grabbed a season-high nine rebounds with three offensive boards in win over Montana inside Fertitta Center.

Arceneaux is one of nine lettermen returning for the Cougars, who finished at #3 in both national polls a year ago, posted a 32-5 overall record, advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the fifth consecutive year and captured the Big 12 Conference regular-season championship by two games in their first year in the league.
