Pyburn’s Legal Battle to Return to LSU | LSU Tigers Football News

A Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end, Jack Pyburn, is threatening to return to LSU in 2026 if cut during NFL roster cuts — all thanks to a Louisiana court’s temporary restraining order. The SEC’s new rule bans signed pro players from competing in conference games, with penalties for schools that break it. Pyburn, an undrafted free agent, must clear waivers first — if waived and unclaimed, he could head back to Baton Rouge, pending the court’s decision. His case, along with three others already committed to LSU, challenges the SEC’s ban in a high-stakes legal battle set for September 3rd — right after NFL cuts and before LSU’s season opener.
