First Player to Return After Signing Pro Deal | LSU Tigers Football News

DaeQuan Wright, waived by the Browns after training camp, is poised to become the first NFL-eligible player to return to college football — thanks to a landmark legal ruling. Already signed with pro teams, Wright received a temporary restraining order from a class-action lawsuit that shields athletes from NCAA penalties for signing contracts or hiring agents. With an extra year of eligibility granted, he’s set to join LSU under coach Lane Kiffin — his former Ole Miss mentor. The court will decide on the TRO by August, potentially opening the door for other NFL players like Jack Pyburn and Wydett Williams to follow suit, reshaping the future of college athletics.
