Zxavian Harris enters transfer portal after regaining NCAA eligibility

Summary

Former Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris has entered the transfer portal after regaining eligibility following a recent court ruling. Harris, along with other players from the class of 2022, can now play college football again since they did not redshirt or enter the NFL. After going undrafted in 2026 and being released by the New Orleans Saints, Harris seeks a new team. Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding indicated that he is not looking to add new players unless injury necessitates it, and SEC rules prohibit transfers within the conference, making the Big Ten and ACC potential destinations for Harris.
