LSU Athletes Edge Closer to Eligibility | LSU Tigers Football News

A judge just handed down a preliminary injunction that could let two former college athletes, DaeQuan Smith and Zxavian Harris, play for LSU despite previously signing with NFL teams — a move that challenges NCAA rules and could shake up the upcoming season. Both players spent four years in college under the old eligibility framework, and while the NCAA recently expanded eligibility to five years, they’re excluded from the class of 2022. With final rosters due Friday — just before LSU’s opener against Clemson — this ruling could see them on the field… at least for now. But don’t celebrate yet: the SEC and NCAA are preparing to appeal. This case underscores the ongoing battle between athletes seeking more opportunities and governing bodies trying to maintain control over college sports.
