Report: NFL Rookie, Ex-Ole Miss TE Has Agreement In Place To Join LSU

The Cleveland Browns are waiving tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who could now be on his way to LSU for the 2026 season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Wright has an agreement in place to play for the Tigers if he clears NFL waivers. The former Ole Miss tight end entered the NCAA transfer portal last week after a court ruling opened the door for him to receive a fifth year of college eligibility.

Wright played the last two seasons at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin before going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles before being claimed by Cleveland earlier this month. Wright caught 39 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns last season at Ole Miss.

If Wright clears waivers and ultimately suits up for LSU, he is believed to be the first player to spend time with an NFL team and then return to play college football.

When does he clear waivers? I understand it to be 24 hours after Cleveland waives him but haven’t been able to find where that waiver has officially happened.

Second question. Any chance SEC and Sankey step in to prohibit this move? One would hope not but I think I read SEC filed brief against LSU basketball player .

This is the college sports landscape. You play by the rules until something else changes the vista.

This just means everyone will declare for the draft at first availability. They will return if they dislike their draft position. Only works in Baseball, because there is an intermediate farm system. This is going to end badly.

Let me put some fresh ink in my quill pen. TAF needs me to write another check. And I thought the Catholic Church had deep pockets.

I’m not offended by this at all. In the past, as soon as a college player declared, they were barred from coming back even if they didn’t get a pro contract. That risk was all on the player, and it was harsh. I’ve always considered it to be better if they could finish school on scholarship if they didn’t get a job playing football.

This is absurd.

Brown's coach Todd Monken: "Man, isn’t this s–t crazy?" "I don’t even know what to say. As far as I know, he’s had a medical issue that wasn’t allowing him to practice. That’s a medical issue. It has nothing to do with me. He was cleared, so we dressed him just in case we had to have him." "I don’t know what to say. I wondered why Lane Kiffin reached out to me a week ago, now I know. I didn’t call him back. I guess I should have."
