Jayden Daniels' camp disputes LSU's use of his jersey number

Jayden Daniels' attorney sent a cease-and-desist letter to LSU regarding his name, image, and likeness rights. This follows LSU's decision to give jersey No. 5, previously worn by Daniels, to defensive back DJ Pickett. Daniels expressed his preference for the issue to be resolved privately while focusing on training with the Washington Commanders. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the NIL era and how former players interact with their schools. LSU's coach Brian Kelly indicated that they delayed issuing Pickett the number until they had Daniel's approval.
