Jayden Daniels, a former Arizona State transfer and two-time starter at LSU, is embroiled in controversy with LSU head coach Lane Kiffin over the No. 5 jersey. Daniels, who wore the jersey during his stellar 2023 season, is upset that Kiffin decided to give it to sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett. An attorney representing Daniels has informed LSU that the school can no longer use his name, image, or likeness.

Daniels' family expressed deep disappointment, stating they believed the No. 5 jersey would remain a meaningful part of his legacy at LSU. Kiffin defended his decision, stating that he honored a promise made during the Brian Kelly era. The conflict highlights the tension between LSU's past and future as the university considers jersey retirements.
