LSU head coach Lane Kiffin finalized the team's 105-man roster on September 8, leaving no space for former Ole Miss players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. The decision follows a legal battle involving the SEC, which enacted a rule prohibiting former professional players from returning to college football. Although a Louisiana judge issued an injunction allowing the players to utilize a fifth year of eligibility, LSU declined to add them to the roster amidst pressure from the conference. Agent Drew Rosenhaus stated that the players remain in a state of uncertainty regarding their eligibility for the current season. The SEC recently filed an amended complaint threatening the potential expulsion of LSU from the league. While the roster is currently full, the players remain excluded from participation for the immediate future.
