LSU Halt Roster Expansion By Turning Down Two Former NFL Contractors, Raising Conference Exclusion Concerns LSU appears to abandon its push to add two fifth‑year players who have previously signed with NFL teams. According to circulating reports, the university had planned to enroll Aiden Anding and Gabriel Reliford—both seniors whose previous commitments involved playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, and Cleveland Browns—before closing its 105‑person roster window. This decision follows shortly after a Baton Rouge magistrate cleared Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris of eligibility hurdles. Wright signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, moved to the Broncos after being waived by Philadelphia, and was later cut by Cleveland. Harris reached an agreement with the Saints initially but was subsequently released by the franchise. Louisiana legal counsel Ryan Downton stated that both athletes are exploring all possible legal options following the rulings regarding eligibility. The outlook remains uncertain as it is not yet known whether the SEC will postpone its tentative Thursday vote on expelling LSU from the conference, a outcome that would require support from eleven member institutions.
