Dae’Quan Wright commits to LSU following NFL release
Summary

Dae’Quan Wright, a former tight end with the Cleveland Browns and Ole Miss, has committed to LSU. The announcement comes after Wright was cut from the NFL team and deemed ineligible for college play earlier this month. With the possibility of clearing waivers soon, Wright aims to join LSU in time for their season opener against Clemson. LSU faces hurdles due to SEC transfer rules, which are being upheld unless an individual waiver is granted. Wright is viewed as a significant addition for the Tigers, providing added depth to the tight end position.
