LSU Eyes NFL Waived Tight End | LSU Tigers Football News

LSU’s eyeing a jaw-dropping 2026 roster move: Dae’Quan Wright, a former Cleveland Browns tight end and Ole Miss alum, could return to college football — but it’s far from guaranteed. Waived by both the Eagles and Browns, Wright must clear NFL waivers first, then navigate the SEC’s strict intra-conference transfer rules. A Louisiana lawsuit granted 16 players, including Wright, an extra season of eligibility — a victory echoed in a federal Denver ruling that temporarily overturned NCAA limits on athletes who completed four seasons after graduating high school in 2022. With SEC commissioner Greg Sankey warning schools to tread carefully, Wright’s path is legal gray area territory. If he clears all hurdles, he’d reunite with Lane Kiffin and bring much-needed depth to LSU’s tight end corps — all while playing for a team that once drafted him into the NFL.
