Dae’Quan Wright eyes NFL return after LSU enrollment bid fails
Summary

Tight end Dae’Quan Wright is currently an NFL free agent after LSU finalized its 105-player roster, officially excluding him and Zxavian Harris from the program. Wright previously joined the Cleveland Browns in mid-August but was waived after legal complexities surrounding his attempts to regain college eligibility created uncertainty. The tight end did not land with another NFL team while pursuing a return to the collegiate level. With the LSU path now closed, Wright is eligible to sign with any professional organization, potentially including the Cleveland Browns. His career includes a statistical peak of 39 receptions, 635 yards, and five touchdowns during his time as an Ole Miss player.
