First NFL-to-College Return Set | LSU Tigers Football News
Description
DaeQuan Wright is rewriting the rules of college football by becoming the first NFL player to return to the gridiron after being waived — set to join LSU in 2026. Waived by the Browns, he’s cleared waivers and is poised to make history as part of a landmark legal victory against the NCAA. A Louisiana judge granted a temporary restraining order allowing 16 players, including Wright, to return to college sports — a move that has left the NCAA silent as they navigate uncharted territory. The reunion with coach Lane Kiffin, who previously coached him at Ole Miss, adds intrigue to this bold pivot — one that could reshape eligibility and athlete mobility across college athletics.
