Jack Pyburn’s NCAA Eligibility Battle | LSU Tigers Football News

Jack Pyburn, a former Florida-LSU linebacker waived by the Buccaneers after a promising preseason, could be headed back to LSU — but only if he clears waivers and no NFL team claims him. His path is entangled in a high-stakes legal battle against the NCAA, as he and other athletes push for retroactive application of the new five-year eligibility rule. The SEC opposes this for players already signed to pro teams, creating a tense clash between athlete rights and established rules. If an NFL team picks him up, his college eligibility vanishes forever — making his next move a pivotal moment in the fight for college sports reform.
