On August 25, LSU announced the addition of former Ole Miss defensive lineman Zxavian Harris to its roster. Harris, who previously played under Lane Kiffin and was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent, is reuniting with Kiffin after his time in the NFL. This move follows a recent court ruling allowing 16 players from the 2022 class to be eligible to return to college football. Former LSU player Breiden Fehoko expressed strong disapproval of the decision to recruit players from the NFL ranks, emphasizing integrity and amateurism in college sports. Fehoko’s criticisms come as LSU has added over 40 transfers, signaling a major roster transformation under Kiffin.
