LSU Finalizes 105-Player Roster Without 2 Ex-Pros as SEC Seeks TRO

Summary
LSU capped its roster at 105 on Tuesday by adding Gabriel Reliford and Aidan Anding, leaving former pro-athletes Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris off the team for the season.
Wednesday’s federal hearing in Birmingham will test whether the SEC can win a temporary restraining order to enforce its ban on former pros returning to college athletics and potentially shield itself if it penalizes LSU.
Last week’s Louisiana injunction had briefly opened a path for Wright and Harris after a 12-hour hearing, but the players then amended their complaint to add the SEC as a defendant.
The conference’s Alabama lawsuit accuses LSU of lacking institutional control over coach Lane Kiffin, extending a roster dispute into a broader fight over SEC governance and membership rules.
