Leonard Fournette was back in Baton Rouge this week, speaking with the LSU Tigers during their preseason camp.
In the process, he blessed Trey'DeZ Green and Whit Weeks to wear the No. 7 jersey he made famous during his time at LSU. Fournette also gifted DJ Pickett a No. 5 chain, a gesture that came weeks after the controversy surrounding Jayden Daniels' former jersey number.
The gesture comes weeks after Jayden Daniels' dispute with LSU over the use of his former No. 5. The Heisman Trophy winner sent the school a cease-and-desist letter earlier this month after Pickett was ******* igned the number. In a video of him gifting Pickett the chain, the former LSU running back could be heard saying:
"Gotta bless the five."
A statement from a spokesperson for the signal-caller argued that the school's continued use of the No. 5 constitutes an unauthorized use of his name, image, and likeness, a position that has been met with skepticism by fans and ******* ysts.
