It seems that Zxavian Harris and Dae’Quan Wright won’t be playing football anywhere in 2026 — at least not in the NFL or NCAA.
The NFL sent a memo to teams on Wednesday declaring that Harris and Wright are ineligible to visit, try out or sign with an NFL team during the 2026 season.
Harris, a defensive tackle, and Wright, a tight end, were at the center of the NCAA eligibility controversy at LSU in the preseason. Both players agreed to join Lane Kiffin’s LSU roster after signing with NFL teams but not making rosters.

Now Harris and Wright are ineligible to play in the NFL until the 2027 season.
