In an incredible development, former Heisman winning QB Jayden Daniels issued a cease and desist letter to LSU concerning all usage of his Name, Image and Likeness following the news of current sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett wearing Daniels' #5.
After speaking with two folks between the sides, this appears to be a case of two promises that shouldn't have been made....and judging by the timeline, most likely by former LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly:
1) telling Jayden Daniels his #5 would never be used again.
2) Kelly or his staff at his behest telling DJ Pickett he would wear the #5 upon arrival at LSU....which didn't happen over the course of his freshman year (he wore #3, another number that should arguably be retired) until now, when current LSU Head Coach Lane Kiffin begrudgingly said he would honor "the promise" made by the "former coaching staff"....which indicates a promise made by Brian Kelly, rather than current CBs Coach Corey Raymond.
There's also talk that Daniels feels he isn't getting the "same treatment that Joe Burrow" receives...which is honestly pathetic if that report is true.
What are we doing here???
LSUODYSSEY has reached out to MzRegina Jackson, Jayden's Mother and agent for comments and context about their cease and desist letter, and we will do our best to have that for you.
UPDATED
Sources & paperwork confirm Jayden Daniels' mother Regina Jackson was the prime instigator of the Daniels Family's cease & desist letter challenge against #LSU.
Daniels and his representatives, led by his agent mother Regina, sent a C&D letter to LSU attempting to prevent the former Heisman winner's alum from utilizing his Name, Image and Likeness, while also trying to take the #5 from current CB DJ Pickett.
Another Washington Commanders source told us "Daniels is sick about all of it & wants it to end. This is his Mom's show. Her vendetta against LSU is embarrassing him..."
UPDATED
LSUOdyssey now has a coach for the Tigers under Brian Kelly opening up to us about the process and how the #5 debacle occurred, blaming DBs Coach Corey Raymond for making the #5 promise to Pickett, inserting that clause voluntarily within Pickett's 2026 contract as a sweetener to keep him from the portal.
I'm not sure how much I believe this, it does sound like someone with an agenda pushing something, which is what we've heard from the vast majority of Tiger media and fans during this Wednesday night fight that has raged on into the weekend of Skip Bertman's passing, but still, everything is worth looking into when you consider the trustworthy source I've spoken to on the matter....
....it would be unbelievable, even down right shocking if this was all Corey Raymond's blunder....
