Dae’Quan Wright is heading to LSU if he clears waivers after Browns released him
Former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright is heading to LSU if he clears waivers after being released by the Cleveland Browns, agent Drew Rosenhaus told The Associated Press on Monday. Wright signed with the Philadelphia Eagles following the NFL draft and joined the Browns after he was released on Aug. 11.
Cleveland Browns waived former Mississippi tight end Dae Quan Wright, potentially clearing the way for him to join LSU after clearing waivers. If Wright joins LSU, he would be the first known player to return to college after playing in the NFL. Lane Kiffin, LSU's head coach, declined to discuss any specific players in response to the lawsuit, but stated that those involved are available to recruit.
The SEC firmly opposes professional athletes returning to college sports, and the football transfer portal is set to reopen for a week for players involved in the lawsuit. Kiffin expressed support for the players, stating that they were granted a fifth year by a judge due to being wronged by the NCAA. Other coaches, however, expressed concerns over the changing rules and lack of consistency in college football.
