The LSU Tigers have continued moving forward with plans to bring several players onto their roster who have already signed professional contracts. However, the team has been facing some significant pushback, and now the Georgia Attorney General has weighed in.
As LSU prepares for the upcoming season, it has ignited a firestorm throughout the SEC after it began securing commitments from former NFL players. While those players are technically barred from joining the team by NCAA and SEC rules, a Louisiana court ruling has opened up the possibility of those players joining the LSU roster. But that fight clearly is not over.
LSU and head coach Lane Kiffin have continued moving forward with plans to add at least three players who signed professional contracts this summer, including former Ole Miss players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris at tight end and defensive tackle, respectively.
Bringing those players onto the roster would violate two separate league rules, with the SEC prohibiting players from joining the conference after signing a professional contract while also barring intraconference transfers outside of the designated portal window.
However, a Baton Rouge judge has blocked both the NCAA and SEC from enforcing their restrictions involving eligibility, the transfer portal, and professional players returning to college football.
