Louisiana judge opens door for LSU to roster ex-NFL players; SEC sues school, Kiffin to stop it - The Athletic

A Louisiana judge, William Jorden, ruled in favor of former NFL signees Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, clearing them to play for LSU under first-year head coach Lane Kiffin, despite both having previously signed NFL contracts as undrafted free agents. The SEC responded by suing LSU and Kiffin to block the move, citing a rule that prevents athletes who have signed professional contracts from returning to college football. Wright indicated he expects to be on the roster immediately, while Harris said he may need a couple of weeks to be available, targeting the September 19 game against Ole Miss.
