Dae’Quan Wright is heading to LSU if he clears waivers after Browns released him

Former Mississippi tight end Dae’Quan Wright is reportedly set to join the LSU Tigers if he successfully clears waivers following his release from the Cleveland Browns. Wright, under the representation of Drew Rosenhaus, could be the first player to return to college after playing in the NFL. LSU coach Lane Kiffin, while not naming specific players, confirmed that the players involved in the lawsuit are available for recruitment.

Kiffin believes that allowing these players to play college football will not create any competitive concerns. The lawsuit, filed against the NCAA, argues that players who did not graduate high school in 2022 should be granted a fifth year of eligibility due to a new NCAA rule. The SEC has expressed strong opposition to this ruling, stating that only college athletes should be allowed to play in college.
