Daniels vs LSU Over Jersey Number | Baton Rouge News

Jayden Daniels’ legal team has slapped LSU with a cease-and-desist over the use of his name, image, and likeness — specifically tied to his iconic jersey number five, now worn by sophomore DJ Pickett. Despite the coach’s claim that the number was promised to Pickett during recruitment, fans are outraged, calling it disrespectful to Daniels’ legacy as a fan favorite. Daniels himself stayed calm, focusing on training camp with the Commanders while thanking LSU for its support — hoping the dispute can be settled privately. Meanwhile, LSU prep work continues for their season opener against Clemson, as this NIL clash adds tension to what’s already a high-stakes football season.
