LSU attempts to add Blake Cotton to roster following legal injunction

LSU is working to add former Utah and Denver Broncos cornerback Blake Cotton to its football roster. The move follows a preliminary injunction granted by a Baton Rouge judge on Thursday that allows players who began their collegiate careers in 2022 to participate in a fifth year. While LSU has already integrated Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris into the team, the addition of Cotton remains pending. The university must finalize its roster by Friday, one day before the team faces Clemson. The SEC, which generally opposes the return of players from NFL rosters to college teams, is expected to appeal the court ruling. This legal challenge could affect the eligibility of affected players throughout the upcoming season.
