LSU adds NFL talent ahead of Clemson season opener
Summary

LSU is making significant roster changes ahead of its matchup against Clemson on September 3. Former Ole Miss defensive lineman Zxavian Harris has committed to the team after being released by the New Orleans Saints during training camp. Harris, who started all 15 games for Ole Miss last season, is one of 16 players given an additional season of eligibility by a Louisiana court. LSU also added former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns this summer. Both players’ availability for the game remains uncertain, as SEC rules restrict transfers between conference schools outside designated windows.
