Harris Returns to Kiffin’s LSU | Huntsville News

Zxavian Harris, the defensive lineman cut by the New Orleans Saints, is set to return to college football — heading to LSU for the 2026 season thanks to a Louisiana court ruling that grants some 2022 graduates an extra year of eligibility. Once coached by Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, Harris now faces the irony of playing under his former boss — whom he publicly criticized for allegedly misleading the team about his departure. He’s not alone: two other players, including a Notre Dame linebacker and a Browns release, are also poised to join LSU before kickoff. The NCAA’s “five to play five” rule is being tested as courts intervene, leaving NFL hopefuls like running back Anthony Hankerson and pass rusher Jack Pyburn in limbo. Kiffin defends the moves as strategic recruiting, while the SEC may still attempt to block these transfers — creating a wild, unprecedented moment in college sports.
