LSU fans boo former quarterback Jayden Daniels during win over Clemson
Summary

LSU fans in Baton Rouge booed former quarterback Jayden Daniels on Saturday night during a stadium segment honoring former players. The reaction occurred while the "NFLSU" video featured Daniels, who played for the Tigers from 2022 to 2023. This hostility follows a recent dispute regarding the university's decision to issue Daniels' former number, 5, to sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett. Daniels previously issued a cease-and-desist letter to the school regarding the use of his name, image, and likeness after the number reassignment. The incident occurred during LSU's 51-10 victory over Clemson, which was delayed by a three-hour storm. Other former players featured in the segment, including Lloyd Cushenberry III and Grant Delpit, received cheers from the home crowd.
