The rumors are officially over: Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris are not joining LSU’s roster for the 2026 season. This is a huge development, especially after all the buzz around these former NFL players looking to make a comeback in the college ranks. ESPN’s Pete Thamel broke the news Tuesday, confirming what many LSU fans might be feeling right now.
LSU’s Roster Locked Down
This decision comes as LSU finalized its roster at 105 players. That’s the hard cap, folks. Once they hit that number, it means the roster is locked for the rest of the campaign. No more additions, no more hopeful stories about big-name transfers. On3’s Pete Nakos also confirmed that cornerback Aidan Anding and defensive end Gabriel Reliford are the two players added to the roster, pushing the Tigers to their limit. These two additions mean there’s just no room left for Wright and Harris, despite the attention they’d generated.
The Finality of the Decision
Think about it: these guys were former NFL players. That kind of talent doesn’t just grow on trees. For them to be looking to join the program, and for LSU to ultimately say no, it tells you how tight things are. This isn’t some casual decision; it locks in the team’s composition for the entire 2026 campaign. What you see now is what you get with LSU’s roster, and that’s a massive statement about the team’s direction and strategy.
This is the team for LSU this season. With the roster locked at 105, there’s no looking back. It’s time to see what this squad can do now that all the tough decisions have been made.
