Georgia Lawmaker Introduces NEAUX PROS Act to Bar Ex-NFL Players as LSU Pursues 2 Recruits

Summary
Rep. Clay Fuller filed the NEAUX PROS Act on Sept. 3 to block college teams from recruiting former professional athletes, escalating a fight sparked by LSU football.
A judge less than a week ago ruled against SEC members that had sued LSU and coach Lane Kiffin, clearing colleges to recruit ex-NFL players and prompting Fuller's legislative response.
LSU had targeted two former NFL players — ex-Saints lineman Zxavian Harris and former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright — turning the case into a flashpoint in college sports.
LSU's season roster released Wednesday listed 105 players, but neither Harris nor Wright appeared on it, while the SEC's planned Thursday vote on possible league action remained unclear.
