LSU Excludes Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris from Season Opener Against Clemson

LSU has opted not to include Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris on its roster for the season opener against Clemson, as confirmed by CBS Sports. This decision follows a preliminary injunction granted by a Louisiana judge, which would have allowed the players to participate.

Despite this legal victory, the SEC is pursuing its own lawsuit against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin, aiming to enforce a ban on professional athletes returning to college football. The SEC's rules, which were unanimously supported by its members, impose severe penalties for violations, including potential game forfeitures.

Wright and Harris, both former Ole Miss players, had previously spent time with NFL teams. The controversy surrounding their potential return to college football has drawn criticism from various state attorneys general and sparked backlash within the SEC. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney also expressed disapproval of the idea of former NFL players participating in college games.
