By filling his 105 roster spots, Lane Kiffin removes possibility of adding Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris this season.
LSU President Wade Rousse sent a letter to the SEC on Wednesday confirming that the school would not add two former NFL players to its roster.
The college football season is well underway, but plenty of off-field drama continues to unfold. The SEC has made it clear that it intends to punish the LSU Tigers over their recruiting actions involving two former NFL players.
Via Amanda Christovich of Front Office Sports, the complaint alleges that LSU and Kiffin “waged a deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes to play football for LSU during the 2026-27 season, including players who had signed NFL contracts with the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”
The school's Thursday meeting came after a hearing was continued in its suit against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin.
