Kiffin Defends Recruiting Wright to LSU

Wright, who played two seasons for Kiffin at Ole Miss, could become the first known player to return to college football after playing in the NFL. The tight end caught 39 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns for the Rebels last season before signing with the Eagles as an undrafted rookie.

Wright was among players who sued in a Louisiana court regarding NCAA eligibility rules, arguing they should receive a fifth year of eligibility despite not being "grandfathered" into the new policy. The Southeastern Conference has firmly opposed professional athletes returning to college sports, stating it "blurs the line between college and professional sports" and creates competitive equity concerns. blablasex.es
