Daniels Sues LSU Over No. 5 Jersey

Jayden Daniels, the Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Washington Commanders, has formally notified LSU that the university is not permitted to use his name, image, or likeness.

This legal action was prompted after sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett was issued Daniels' former No. 5 jersey, a number not officially retired by LSU.

Representatives for the Heisman Trophy winner expressed deep disappointment and a sense of profound disrespect regarding the decision to assign the number to another player.

Daniels concluded his collegiate career with a remarkable record, being the sole player in Division I FBS history to achieve over 12,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards.
