LSU Jersey Drama Before Season | LSU Tigers Football News

LSU’s pre-season drama heats up as Jayden Daniels’ camp clashes with the school over jersey number five, now assigned to cornerback DJ Pickett — a move Daniels’ family deems disrespectful after his historic Heisman season. Former star Leonard Fournette jumps in, lending support by gifting Pickett a number five necklace, amplifying the controversy. While Daniels’ team felt the number should honor his legacy, LSU stands by its commitment to Pickett, who was promised the number during recruitment and is expected to be a key player. With jersey numbers not officially retired for five years, the number remains available — and Pickett’s switch from number three adds fuel to the fire. As Daniels focuses on his NFL career with Washington, the spotlight on this dispute may fade as the season begins, leaving fans hoping the field becomes the real stage.
