Dae'Quan Wright Returns to LSU | Jackson News

Dae’Quan Wright, former Ole Miss tight end and Cleveland Browns waived player, could be making a shocking return to college football — potentially joining LSU under Lane Kiffin. A court order grants him and several other former Kiffin players an unexpected fifth year of eligibility after they’ve already entered the NFL, sparking debate across college coaching circles. Wright, who had solid stats at Ole Miss and was signed by the Eagles before landing with the Browns, might become the first player to come back to college ball after tasting the pros. The ruling stems from a lawsuit challenging NCAA eligibility rules, and players must forfeit pro earnings to reclaim their status. With a hearing scheduled for August 31, Kiffin supports the decision, calling it justice for athletes wronged by the NCAA — while others, like Oregon’s Dan Lanning, argue once you go pro, you’re done.
