BATON ROUGE - LSU added two players to the school's roster, preventing them from adding two fifth-year players who were granted eligibility by a Baton Rouge judge.

Pete Thamel reported that LSU is completing its roster at 105 players, eliminating the program's ability to add Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris.

The two players being added to the roster are Aiden Anding and Gabriel Reliford, sources told WBRZ's Michael Cauble. Both are not expected to play this season due to injuries during spring practice.

Judge William Jorden had previously ruled the two eligible. The judge enjoined LSU, the SEC and the NCAA from taking any prohibitive action against the players.

Wright signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent, joined the Cleveland Browns and then was waived from the team. Harris had signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent before being released.

The players' attorney, Ryan Downton, told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger that the "players are reviewing legal options."
