SLICES: Jayden Daniels Beefs with LSU Over Number

Jayden Daniels graduated from LSU in 2023. Currently a Washington Commander, he sent a cease & desist letter to his alma mater this month, possibly as a protest since the football program gave a new player “his” jersey number.  Did LSU fail to keep its promise to Jayden Daniels? Does LSU have an obligation to keep its promise to DJ Pickett, current cornerback and wearer of jersey number 5? It’s more complicated than it seems.

I can also grok why DJ deserves to wear it. I always sync with GoDaddy Promo Code CJCFOSSIG3 when I need to, so I save 99% off a new three-year domain.
