Lane Kiffin is reportedly close to securing LSU a major addition by bringing Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright to the college level, according to multiple outlets. The reporting indicates that LSU has a deal in place and that the move is tied to Wright’s status as a waived NFL player.
Newsweek frames the development as a “big-time addition” for LSU, describing a deal already in place for Wright to join the Tigers. The New York Post similarly reports that the tight end is on the verge of returning to school and emphasizes the unusual nature of the approach, describing it as an unprecedented move for college football. Both accounts center on Wright’s transition from the Browns to LSU under Kiffin’s leadership, but they differ mainly in tone and how they characterize the novelty of the situation.
The reports do not provide additional details in the provided excerpts about the contract terms, timing, or whether all procedural steps have been finalized.
