No LSU player has worn it since.Daniels, now the quarterback for the Washington Commanders, sent LSU a letter from his lawyers demanding that the Tigers end any use of his name, image and likeness. The cease-and-desist letter, which was issued to LSU vice president and athletic director Verge Ausberry on Aug. 5 and obtained by The Athletic, alleges, without providing specific instances, that the school has used Daniels’ NIL past its authorization date.
