Pyburn to Return to LSU if Waived by Buccaneers Before Sept. 1
Former LSU and Florida defensive end Jack Pyburn plans to return to the Tigers if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers waive him before the September 1 deadline set by a Louisiana court order. This move would make him the fourth player from the ongoing NCAA lawsuit to join LSU, following Junior Tuihalamaka, Dae’Quan Wright, and Zxavian Harris. The SEC has banned its member schools from rostering former professionals, imposing severe penalties including coach suspensions and fines equal to 50% of the sport’s operating budget. However, an amended complaint seeks to block the SEC from enforcing this rule, allowing these players to use their eligibility. The preliminary hearing for this motion has been moved to September 3, just two days before LSU’s season opener against Clemson.
