Dae'Quan Wright’s Fifth Year Fight | Amarillo News

Dae’Quan Wright, a former Ole Miss tight end who played for the Eagles and Browns, could be returning to college football at LSU under Lane Kiffin thanks to a court order granting him a fifth year of eligibility — a major NCAA shake-up. The ruling stems from a lawsuit by players who graduated in 2022, arguing they were unfairly excluded from the new five-year rule. With a temporary restraining order in place, coaches are scrambling to recruit these players, while others like Dan Lanning and Jon Sumrall push back, fearing the chaos of shifting rules. The judge also reopened the transfer portal for a week, allowing players to switch schools — with financial consequences like Jack Pyburn potentially repaying $115K. A preliminary injunction hearing is set for August 31, leaving the future of college football’s eligibility rules in legal limbo.
