New Delhi, Aug. 13 -- Washington Commanders quarterback and 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels has taken formal action against his former college program. A representative for the star passer notified LSU that the school can no longer use his name, image, and likeness after the Tigers allowed a current player to wear the number he made famous.

The letter went to athletic director Verge Ausberry. ESPN obtained a copy and reported that the move stems directly from cornerback DJ Pickett switching to the No. 5 jersey for the upcoming season. That is the same number Daniels wore during his two seasons in Baton Rouge. No LSU player had worn No. 5 since Daniels left for the NFL, even though the school never officially retired it.
