LSU leaves ex-pros off roster for Clemson opener
Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who were cleared earlier this week to return to college football after brief stints in the NFL, have not been added to LSU's roster for its season opener against Clemson.
LSU's decision to leave Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris off the roster for their season opener against Clemson has raised eyebrows, especially given the hype surrounding their returns to college football. Both players had brief stints in the NFL but were cleared to rejoin their college team earlier this week. The fact that they won't be suiting up against Clemson, a top-ranked opponent, is a significant development for the Tigers.
This move has implications for LSU's roster and depth chart, particularly on defense. Wright and Harris were expected to bolster the team's defensive lineup, but their absence creates uncertainty and potentially forces other players to step up. The Clemson game is a crucial test for LSU, and not having these two players available could impact the team's performance. It's worth noting that LSU's coaching staff may be exercising caution or there might be other factors at play, but fans will be eager to see these players back on the field soon.
What's next to watch is how LSU's roster situation unfolds and whether Wright and Harris will be added for future games. The Tigers' performance against Clemson will also be closely monitored, as it sets the tone for their season. If LSU struggles without these two players, it could lead to increased pressure on the coaching staff to get them back on the field ASAP. Fans will be keeping a close eye on the team's roster updates and the players' potential impact on the season.
