LSU’s NFL Transfer Gamble | LSU Tigers Football News

Lane Kiffin’s LSU is pulling off a jaw-dropping move: Dae’Quan Wright, a tight end who just played for the Cleveland Browns and previously starred at Ole Miss under Kiffin, is set to transfer back to college football in 2026—if he clears NFL waivers. This unprecedented move blurs college-NFL lines, turning LSU into a powerhouse with NFL-ready talent. Wright’s proven stats (39 catches, 635 yards, 5 TDs) and deep familiarity with Kiffin’s system make him a perfect fit. Even wilder? He was part of an NCAA eligibility challenge, making him potentially the first player to sign with an NFL team and return to college. The future of college football just got a whole lot more intense—and legal questions are already swirling. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
