LSU excludes Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris from football roster
Summary

LSU will not include Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris on its active roster following a legal standoff with the SEC. The university confirmed its decision in a letter from president Wade Rousse to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday. This development follows a temporary injunction granted in a Louisiana state court that initially permitted the players to compete for a fifth year of eligibility. The SEC subsequently filed a federal lawsuit against LSU and moved to potentially expel the university from the conference. Although the players previously signed NFL preseason contracts, their current status remains unclear. Both athletes are now exploring further legal options as they assess potential opportunities to rejoin NFL teams or pursue damages against the conference.
