LSU Adds Wright After NFL Stint

Former Mississippi tight end Dae'Quan Wright will join Lane Kiffin's LSU roster after the Cleveland Browns waived him, marking the first known NFL player to return to college football.

Former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who was waived by the Cleveland Browns, will join No. 11 LSU after clearing waivers, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Wright played two seasons for Kiffin at Ole Miss, catching 39 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns last year.

Wright's move comes after a Louisiana court granted him and others a temporary restraining order providing a fifth year of eligibility. Kiffin confirmed his program is recruiting affected players, noting not doing so could mean "we may end up playing against them." The SEC has expressed opposition to professional athletes returning to college sports, saying it "will blur the line between college and professional sports" and calling on Congress to regulate college athletics. milkshakeslot.com
