Lane Kiffin, LSU Have Deal in Place to Sign Browns TE: Report

Lane Kiffin is reportedly set to make a big-time addition to LSU's roster in Cleveland Browns TE Dae’Quan Wright.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Dae’Quan Wright is reportedly set to return to college football after playing in an NFL training camp, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move could open up a new NCAA eligibility loophole, allowing players who have signed with NFL teams to come back to school. Wright, who previously played for LSU head coach Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, is believed to be the first player to follow this path.

Browns head coach Todd Monken jokingly mentioned that Kiffin had recently reached out to him about Wright, who had spent the offseason dealing with injuries. The 2026 season opener in Baton Rouge could see Wright reunite with his former college coach for the first time since he left Ole Miss.
