Former Ole Miss DL Zxavian Harris Commits To LSU Following Brief Stint With The Saints

LSU has added another experienced piece to its defensive line as former Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris has committed to the Tigers, according to multiple reports.

The 6-foot-8, 330-pound Harris played four seasons at Ole Miss, including last year under current LSU head coach Lane Kiffin. He started all 15 games in 2025 and finished the season with 58 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks, along with an interception, four pass breakups, and a blocked kick.

Harris signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft but never practiced with the team while recovering from offseason foot surgery. The Saints waived Harris from the NFI list earlier this month. A recent Louisiana court ruling opened the door for Harris and other players from the 2022 recruiting class to return for a fifth season of college football.

Harris becomes the latest veteran addition for LSU, joining former Notre Dame EDGE Junior Tuihalamaka and former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who is also expected to join the Tigers after being waived by the Cleveland Browns.
