LSU decides not to add Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to official roster
Tigers will kick off the season without the players that caused a stir the past few weeks
LSU decided not to include Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris on their official roster for the upcoming Clemson game, despite a court injunction that appeared to support their inclusion. Both players are currently enrolled in school, and LSU had submitted a roster with 103 players, leaving only two spots available. The SEC had filed a lawsuit against LSU, Lane Kiffin, President Wade Rousse, Athletic Director Verge Ausberry, and the LSU board of supervisors, accusing the university and its officials of a deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes for the 2026-27 football season.
The College Football Playoff Committee also released a statement supporting the conferences' rules that ban professional players from returning to college to compete. LSU's decision to leave Wright and Harris off the roster may have been due to concerns about the legal implications and eligibility issues surrounding their recruitment.
