BATON ROUGE, La. — It seems Clemson does not have to concern itself with any former NFL players suiting up for LSU in Saturday night’s season opener.

Neither tight end Dae’Quan Wright nor defensive lineman Zxavian Harris was added to LSU’s roster on Friday night. That means neither would be able to play on Saturday night. However, the roster LSU turned in only consists of 103 players, meaning they could be added at a later date, as both Wright and Harris are enrolled in school.

On Thursday, A judge in Louisiana granted an injunction against the NCAA and the SEC, paving the way for Wright and Harris to play for LSU this season, despite both having spent time on NFL rosters during the preseason. Wright stated after the hearing that he’d already been practicing and was planning to play.

However, Harris wasn’t going to be eligible regardless due to not having been through an NCAA-mandated five-day acclimation period.

Wright went undrafted in April, but signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on May 1. He was released by the Eagles on Aug. 10 and picked up on waivers by Cleveland the next day. The Browns ultimately waived him.

While head coach at Ole Miss, Kiffin signed Wright out of the transfer portal following the 2023 season. In two years with the Rebels, he caught 66 passes for 1,029 yards and nine touchdowns.

After not being taken in the 2026 draft, Harris signed with New Orleans, but he was cut early in camp.

Harris started all 15 games at Ole Miss last season and at 6-foot-8 and 335 pounds, he adds some serious size to the interior of the LSU defensive line. Last year, Harris recorded 58 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, three sacks, a blocked kick, an interception and four passes defended.
