2026/08/13

LSU’s jersey retirement rules are more complex than they seem—after 2007, retired numbers can still be worn if the head coach approves, except for Billy Cannon’s No. 20, which is permanently off-limits. Bert Jones’ No. 7 is next in line, but other retired numbers remain playable. To qualify for retirement, athletes must be done playing for at least five years and achieve Hall of Fame-level honors like a Heisman or national player of the year, plus unanimous Hall of Fame Committee approval.

2026/08/13

LSU’s jersey number five saga explodes as new coach Lane Kiffin honors D.J. Pickett’s promised number — a move that directly clashes with former Heisman winner Jayden Daniels’ wishes to keep the number retired after his NFL departure. The tension stems from Brian Kelly’s prior decision to withhold the number, citing Daniels’ explicit request — similar to how they handled Joe Burrow’s No. 9. With Daniels reportedly cutting off LSU’s use of his NIL, the real battle is over legacy: who gets to

LSU’s jersey number drama heats up as Jayden Daniels’ iconic No. 5 returns to the field — but not without a legal twist. After Daniels left for the NFL, his number was off-limits, until new coach Lane Kiffin honored a promise to cornerback D.J. Pickett, who signed in December 2024 to wear it. Daniels’ camp is now cutting off LSU’s use of his NIL, claiming he never agreed to others wearing his number. Meanwhile, Burrow’s No. 9 remains untouched — unofficially retired — while former coach Brian
