LSU Expected to Add Ex-Ole Miss Star DT Zxavian Harris After NFL Stint
The 6-foot-8, 330-pound All-SEC lineman becomes LSU’s third newly eligible senior addition after a Saints preseason stint ended with a release.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, LSU added former Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris to its roster, reuniting the 330-pound lineman with coach Lane Kiffin.
- Harris played four years at Ole Miss under Kiffin before signing with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent; the Saints released him August 8 due to a foot injury.
- A Louisiana court order issued August 19 granted Harris and 15 other college football players a temporary restraining order against the NCAA, enabling them to return for a fifth season.
- Defending his recruiting strategy on Monday, Kiffin said, "Through winning injunctions and entry into the portal, they are available to recruit," justifying the unconventional move.
- Harris joins a defensive rotation with freshmen Deuce Geralds and Richard Anderson as LSU prepares to face Ole Miss in Oxford on September 19.
