USA Today • • sports
Key Points:
- Former Mississippi tight end Dae'Quan Wright, currently being waived by the Cleveland Browns, has an agreement to join LSU if he clears waivers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- Wright secured a temporary restraining order granting him a fifth season of college eligibility, allowing him to enter the transfer portal despite having signed with NFL teams.
- He initially signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints before joining the Browns and played in their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
- Wright would be the first player to sign with an NFL team and then return to college football, a move stemming from a lawsuit involving multiple undrafted players.
- Wright had a strong 2023 season at Mississippi with 39 receptions for 635 yards and five touchdowns, but his role at LSU is uncertain given the presence of standout tight end Trey'Dez Green.
