Dae’Quan Wright enters NCAA transfer portal amid eligibility legal battles

Former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright, currently with the Cleveland Browns, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. This comes as part of a legal effort by a group of collegiate athletes seeking a fifth year of eligibility following a ruling from a Louisiana court. The NCAA has faced challenges in multiple lawsuits, with judges favoring players in several cases regarding their eligibility status. Wright is joined by other athletes in this unprecedented move, as the NCAA's new five-year, age-based eligibility policy continues to face scrutiny. Subsequent developments in these legal battles may affect eligibility waivers for numerous players across the country.
