LSU has submitted its 2026 roster to the SEC and has not included two fifth-year players eligible under court order.

According to Pete Thamel’s ESPN report, Dae’quan Wright and Zxavian Harris have not been added to the Tiger roster. Both signed contracts with NFL teams this year. Both won their fifth year of eligibility in Baton Rouge Court on Thursday.

Notre Dame transfer Junior Tuihalamaka is reportedly on the roster. He never signed with or participated with and NFL roster. The former Irish defensive end is expected to be with the team on Saturday.

The SEC requires a roster submitted the day prior to the season. Players can be added in the future as long as there is room on the roster and the student-athlete is enrolled as of the first game. Thamel is reporting LSU has listed 103 players on its roster which leaves room for both Wright and Harris to be added later.

Wright caught 66 passes for 1,029 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two seasons in Oxford. Harris made 17.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and posted 5.5 sacks at Ole Miss in four seasons.
