New SEC rule could bar LSU football from pursuing Wright and Harris
The SEC voted to curb NFL players from returning to college, potentially complicating LSU's pursuit of a couple ex-Ole Miss stars.
The SEC recently voted to prohibit players returning from the NFL from playing college football, potentially impacting LSU's pursuit of two former Ole Miss players, Dae Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. Both players have prior NFL experience and spent four years in college before entering the portal. A Louisiana judge temporarily granted them a fifth year of eligibility, which could allow them to play for LSU if the new rule does not take effect.
The SEC's decision was unanimous, with each president, chancellor, and athletics director voting in favor of the policy. LSU football coach Lane Kiffin and basketball coach Will Wade attempted to sign the players despite the potential rules change. If the SEC rule stands, Wright and Harris would be ineligible to play for LSU this fall.
