LSU releases email about not rostering professional players
LSU has released an email about not rostering any professional athletes.
LSU president Wade Rousse sent an email to SEC president Greg Sankey on Wednesday regarding allegations against the school. According to Rousse, LSU will not be rostering any former professional players. Tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive lineman Zxavian Harris were initially considered for the roster but did not make the cut.
LSU has added two more collegiate players, bringing the total roster size to 105, locking the roster for the rest of the year. Rousse aimed to clarify the situation in his email, as the SEC is investigating the possibility of expelling LSU from the conference. He stated that LSU informed him on September 4, 2026, of their decision not to include Wright or Harris on the roster, which was confirmed when LSU submitted the final roster on September 8, 2026.
The roster is now set for the season. Rousse emphasized that LSU complied with SEC rules, making the issue irrelevant. With LSU's recent victory over Clemson and a chance to start the season at 2-0 against Louisiana Tech, the outcome of the SEC's investigation will be intriguing to observe.
