Judge grants injunction allowing Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to join LSU
Summary

Judge William Jorden issued a preliminary injunction on Thursday allowing Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to join the LSU football roster. Both players, who previously competed for Ole Miss, sought to return to college football after being waived by NFL teams this summer. The legal action stems from an eligibility dispute involving the NCAA and the SEC, specifically regarding eligibility rules for the class of 2022. While the ruling clears the path for the athletes to be added to the team, LSU must still finalize its roster before the deadline on Friday. This deadline precedes the school's scheduled season opener against Clemson. The NCAA and the SEC are expected to appeal the court's decision as the legal process continues.
