Dae'Quan Wright May Skirt 5-Day SEC Transfer Rule in LSU Return

Summary
Pete Thamel said Dae'Quan Wright's expected move to LSU may avoid an SEC bylaw because he would be joining from the Cleveland Browns, not transferring directly from Ole Miss.
The rule in question bars intra-SEC transfers unless they occur within 5 days after a season ends, a problem on its face because Wright spent his last 2 college seasons at Ole Miss.
Wright has not officially engaged with LSU yet and is still moving through NFL waivers, leaving the SEC without a formal response as the eligibility question hangs unresolved.
LSU opens its season on Sept. 5 against Clemson, putting a short timeline on any ruling over Wright's planned reunion with Lane Kiffin.
