- Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday, leveraging a Louisiana court ruling that granted certain athletes a fifth year of collegiate eligibility.
- A temporary restraining order granted Wednesday by a Louisiana judge allows 16 football players, including those in NFL training camps, to return to college sports this season.
- Wright, a tight end with the Cleveland Browns, became the first active NFL player to enter the portal; Harris, a defensive tackle, entered after the New Orleans Saints cut him on August 8.
- Athletes may return to college by terminating professional contracts and repaying received money, though the NCAA is expected to challenge the ruling that enjoined the 'ghost transfer rule.'
- Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding stated "our numbers are what they are right now," signaling reluctance to add players, while a court hearing is scheduled for August 31 in Louisiana's 19th Judicial District Court.
