Defensive tackle Zxavian Harris and tight end Dae’Quan Wright are attempting to return to college football at LSU after spending the summer with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, respectively. A Baton Rouge judge issued an order clearing both players to rejoin their college team. The legal action stems from the players seeking a fifth year of eligibility, which they argue is permitted under current rules. The SEC opposes the move and plans to appeal the court’s decision immediately. League officials previously established rules to penalize programs that add former professional players, including potential coaching suspensions and significant fines. LSU must finalize its roster for the upcoming season, though the school faces uncertainty regarding the eligibility status of these players if they appear on the active list.
