What happened: ESPN's Mark Schlabach said the Aug. 5 letter went to athletic director Verge Ausberry. Daniels' spokesperson said the family felt "profoundly disrespected" after LSU allowed another player to wear the number.
Why it matters: The move withdraws LSU's ability to use Daniels' NIL in promotional materials. The action targets those rights rather than LSU's assignment of No. 5.
By the numbers: No. 5 had gone unused since Daniels left LSU.
What to watch: Watch for LSU's response and any removal of Daniels from current promotional materials.
