Rookie Tight End Gets College Comeback | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

A rookie tight end for the Cleveland Browns, DaeQuan Wright, might be heading back to Ole Miss after a Louisiana court granted him a fifth year of college eligibility — one of 16 players who signed NFL deals but still qualify for extra college time. The ruling, tied to pandemic-era “five-for-five” rules, could let Wright rejoin his college team if released before September 1st, sparking a legal battle with the NCAA over whether pro contracts forfeit this extra year. For the Browns, it’s mostly a footnote — Wright hasn’t practiced or played and isn’t even on their depth chart — but it’s a wild snapshot of how Name, Image, and Likeness deals are reshaping college football’s future.
