SEC Sues LSU Over Pro Players | LSU Tigers Football News

The SEC is suing LSU and new coach Lane Kiffin before a single game is played, over two players—Zxavian Harris and Dae’Quan Wright—who signed NFL deals, got cut, and now want to play for LSU in 2026. The conference claims this is a coordinated effort to recruit pros, violating rules they enacted in August. Kiffin initially pledged compliance, but the players secured temporary restraining orders that could let them play. Both athletes previously played under Kiffin at Ole Miss and other teams, then bounced around the NFL before landing at LSU. The SEC seeks an injunction to block LSU from associating with what it calls “conduct contrary to the Conference’s purpose,” with a crucial preliminary hearing looming. If the judge upholds the restraining orders, LSU may legally field them—but the SEC is prepared to fight hard to stop it.
