BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — After a stop in the NFL, former Mississippi tight end Dae’Quan Wright could be heading to LSU thanks to a court order that is creating havoc throughout college sports by allowing Wright and others an unexpected fifth year of eligibility.
Wright’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Associated Press on Monday that the tight end had been waived by the Cleveland Browns and, if he clears waivers, will join Lane Kiffin’s roster at No. 11 LSU.
Wright signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted rookie following the draft. After Philly released him on Aug. 11, the Browns signed him. Wright didn’t play in Cleveland’s two preseason games. Wright played two seasons for Kiffin at Ole Miss, catching 39 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns last year.
在NFL短暂停留后，Dae’Quan Wright可能因法院命令重返LSU
路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日（美联社）——在NFL短暂停留后，前密西西比大学紧端锋Dae’Quan Wright可能因法院命令重返LSU，这一命令在大学体育中造成了混乱，因为它允许Wright和其他人获得意外的第五年资格。
Wright的代理人Drew Rosenhaus在周一告诉美联社，这名紧端锋已被克利夫兰布朗队裁掉，如果他通过清理，将加入排名第11的LSU的Lane Kiffin教练的阵容。
Wright在选秀后以无选秀新秀身份与费城老鹰队签约。费城在8月11日将他释放后，布朗队签下了他。Wright没有参加克利夫兰的两场季前赛。Wright在Kiffin的带领下在密西西比大学打了两个赛季，去年接到了39次传球，获得635码和五个达阵。
