LSU fills final roster spots and denies Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris

LSU finalized its 105-player roster by adding Gabriel Reliford and Aidan Anding on September 8. This move effectively closes the door on the enrollment of Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris for the current season. Both players sought to join the team after participating in NFL preseason activities, relying on a temporary restraining order linked to a five-for-five NCAA eligibility rule. The situation caused friction within the SEC, as the conference scheduled a vote to consider the possible expulsion of LSU for entertaining the addition of professional players. Head coach Lane Kiffin noted that the uncertainty regarding potential league sanctions necessitated his decision to prioritize the program's long-term stability over the addition of the two players. It remains unclear if the SEC will proceed with its planned meeting on September 10 regarding the institution's membership status.
