DJ Pickett remains firm on wearing No. 5 for LSU football

LSU football cornerback DJ Pickett broke his silence and addressed the Jayden Daniels number controversy on Thursday.

LSU's DJ Pickett responded to the issues Jayden Daniels had with the cornerback wearing jersey No. 5.

LSU cornerback DJ Pickett wore No. 3 last year, even though he was promised No. 5.

LSU coach Lane Kiffin said Thursday that he is standing by his initial stance on allowing cornerback D.J. Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey previously worn by 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels — even in the face of objections and legal threats from the former Tigers quarterback. Pickett also did not indicate any interest in giving up the No. 5 when he spoke with reporters after Thursday's practice. “I’ve been wearing the number my whole life, since I was 4 years old," Pickett said.

LSU's DJ Pickett says he has no plans to change out of the No. 5 amid pushback from Jayden Daniels, with the Commanders QB saying the situation won't be a distraction.
