LSU Backs Down After SEC Fallout | LSU Tigers Football News

LSU’s bold plan to bring in former NFL players for a final college year has been scrapped, leaving tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris without a fifth season — despite their hopes and missed COVID eligibility windows. The move came after the SEC threatened legal action and even considered removing LSU from the conference, forcing head coach Lane Kiffin to back down. While critics slammed Kiffin for pushing boundaries, the NCAA’s own rules created the opening for this controversy. Now, LSU can channel the drama into fuel for the season, riding high off a big win and gearing up for their next game Saturday.
