LSU Players Get Green Light to Play | Columbia News

A Louisiana judge just cleared the way for LSU football stars DaeQuan Wright and Zxavian Harris to play this season — despite previously signing NFL contracts — ruling the SEC can’t block them under current eligibility rules. The decision, part of a wider legal battle over NCAA’s new five-year eligibility model, grants these athletes a fifth year. While Clemson warned LSU that playing them could violate their game contract, they’re still set to play and won’t sue. Both players want to suit up Saturday — Harris expects a later debut, Wright hopes to face Clemson — but NCAA rules and potential SEC penalties hang over the game. LSU is reviewing the ruling while navigating this high-stakes legal and athletic crossroads. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
