Heisman Star’s Number Taken | Washington DC News

Heisman winner Jayden Daniels is furious LSU gave his iconic number five to a new player, D.J. Pickett — a cornerback who was promised the number by former coach Brian Kelly before being fired. With Kiffin now in charge, he’s defending the move, saying LSU must honor commitments made under previous leadership. Daniels’ camp feels betrayed — his Heisman season cemented his legacy, and seeing that number reassigned stings. The situation underscores how coaching changes can unravel player promises, leaving everyone scrambling as the season looms.
