A cease-and-desist letter has been sent to LSU by a representative of Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner. The letter informs the school that it can no longer use Daniels' name, image, and likeness. The decision stems from LSU's choice to allow another player to wear the No.
5 jersey, which was previously worn by Daniels during his time at the school. This move apparently goes against Daniels' wishes, as he had expected his number to be respected after his departure. Further details on this development are available from ESPN, which obtained a copy of the letter sent to LSU's athletic director, Verge Ausberry.
