Lafayette, LA, October 13, 2026 —
The National Football League (NFL) has altered a previous ruling, now declaring former Mississippi defensive lineman Zxavian Harris eligible to sign a professional contract and play in the current season. The decision change was confirmed following a review of Harris’s status.

Details regarding the initial decision by the NFL and the specific reasons for the reversal were not immediately available. The timeline for when Harris will sign with a team or which teams may be interested also remains unspecified.
Zxavian Harris’s eligibility status had been a point of consideration for his professional prospects. The league’s revised stance now removes this barrier, allowing him to pursue opportunities within the NFL as the current season progresses.
