LSU finalizes 2026 roster, Tigers will not add former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright & Zxavian Harris
- On Tuesday, Louisiana State University finalized its 2026 football roster at 105 players by adding cornerback Aidan Anding and defensive end Gabriel Reliford, eliminating the possibility of signing former professional players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris this season.
- LSU previously maintained two open roster spots while engaged in a legal battle over eligibility for former pros, as Wright and Harris, both former Ole Miss players, sought to return via a preliminary injunction from a Baton Rouge court.
- Head coach Lane Kiffin expressed support for the athletes' eligibility despite legal complexities, though he prioritized program stability; the university confirmed the roster is locked for the remainder of the season, ending the prolonged standoff with the Southeastern Conference.
- The Southeastern Conference filed an amended lawsuit Tuesday, citing a 'lack of institutional control' by LSU and scheduling a Thursday meeting to consider expelling the program, though officials stated the membership vote will proceed regardless of roster changes.
- Attorneys for Wright and Harris indicated the players are 'reviewing legal options' following the university's decision, while the Tigers prepare to host Louisiana Tech on Saturday, September 12, as the eligibility fight's legal ramifications continue.
