More news in the Jayden Daniels saga
Things are not getting better between Daniels and LSU
In a recent development related to the Jayden Daniels saga, the quarterback for the Washington Commanders sent a cease and desist letter to LSU over the use of his name, image, and likeness in the school's promotional activities. The situation took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that Daniels was also unhappy with LSU's decision to assign star cornerback DJ Pickett the number 5 jersey, which was originally worn by Daniels during his time at LSU in Baton Rouge.
According to Matt Moscona, Daniels's team made yet another request - they asked LSU to give up their copy of the Heisman Trophy that Daniels won as a member of the LSU Tigers. However, LSU has no intention of complying with this request. Daniels reportedly contacted LSU leadership before the start of fall camp, and Lane Kiffin, the LSU head coach, has personally spoken with Daniels about the situation.
The entire scenario has escalated quite rapidly, and it has now become a public matter. It seems unlikely that LSU will back down without a fight, and Pickett is likely to retain his #5 jersey number.
