Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- LSU has finalized its football roster at 105 players by adding DE Gabriel Reliford and CB Aidan Anding, which means former NFL preseason players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris will not be allowed to join the team this season.
- Wright and Harris sought to return to college football after participating in NFL preseason games and benefiting from a new NCAA eligibility rule, but legal and conference disputes complicated their status.
- The SEC had considered severe penalties against LSU, including potentially removing the school from the conference, but the recent roster decisions may have averted that outcome.
- LSU head coach Brian Kelly chose not to add Wright and Harris due to uncertainty about potential sanctions, prioritizing the long-term interests of the program despite sympathizing with the players.
- LSU aims to focus on its football season following a strong opening win over Clemson, while the legal and eligibility controversies surrounding the program remain unresolved.
