Jayden Daniels representative tells LSU it can’t use QB’s name, image and likeness
- On Aug. 5, former Heisman-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels issued a cease-and-desist letter to LSU Athletic Director Verge Ausberry over his name, image and likeness, protesting the university's decision to assign his number 5 to cornerback Pickett.
- Lane Kiffin confirmed Aug. 5 that Pickett was promised the number during recruitment, stating, "DJ is in 5, and that was a situation that was promised to him."
- Expressing disappointment, Daniels' statement said seeing his number reassigned is "incredibly disappointing and feels like a failure to honor the significance of what Jayden accomplished at LSU."
- Before his firing in October, Brian Kelly confirmed the promise to Pickett but stated he "wasn't prepared to do it until we got a full commitment from another Heisman winner."
- Washington Commanders quarterback Daniels continues training camp in Ashburn, while reports indicate he feels treated differently than former Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, who also won a Heisman with LSU.
