Lane Kiffin Welcomes Former Ole Miss Players to LSU

Lane Kiffin, the head coach of LSU, is preparing to welcome former Ole Miss players back to college football, following recent changes in eligibility rules. Players are now allowed a fifth year of eligibility due to court injunctions regarding NCAA guidelines.

Among those players is Dae'Quan Wright, a tight end recently waived by the Cleveland Browns, who has an agreement to join LSU if he goes unclaimed. Additionally, former Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris has committed to LSU after going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and spending time with the New Orleans Saints.

Harris, who had a notable college career with 58 tackles and three sacks in 2025, is expected to contribute significantly to the Tigers. His decision to transfer to LSU follows Kiffin's move from Ole Miss, indicating a potential shift in dynamics within college football.
