NFL says Zxavian Harris is eligible to sign with teams this season, despite attempt to play for LSU

The NFL has officially ruled that former Ole Miss defensive lineman Zxavian Harris is eligible to sign with professional teams for the current season. This decision follows a reversal of the league's previous stance regarding the player's status after his unsuccessful attempt to return to the collegiate level to play for LSU.

The league confirmed the change in status through a memo obtained by the Associated Press on Tuesday. The ruling clarifies Harris's professional standing, clearing the path for him to pursue opportunities with NFL franchises despite his recent efforts to re-enter college football.
