Dae'Quan Wright Waived by Browns, TE Linked to Lane Kiffin's LSU as CFB Transfer Portal Landing Spot

Key Points:

• Former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who recently entered the NCAA transfer portal, has been officially waived by the Cleveland Browns and is expected to join LSU if he clears NFL waivers.
• Wright is believed to be the first player to potentially play for an NFL team and then return to college football, enabled by a temporary restraining order from a Louisiana court allowing certain athletes to regain collegiate eligibility.
• Alongside Wright, several other former college players from various schools have entered the transfer portal due to the restraining order, which is part of a lawsuit seeking a fifth year of eligibility for athletes.
• Wright, who was undrafted in April, had a strong final college season at Ole Miss with 39 catches, 635 yards, and five touchdowns, including significant scores in SEC and College Football Playoff games.
• Former Ole Miss defensive lineman Zxavian Harris, also part of the lawsuit and transfer portal, had a notable 2025 season with 58 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and multiple defensive plays.
