Jayden Daniels vs. LSU Over No. 5? Aaron Murray Reacts to the Jersey Drama

ESPN college football analyst and SEC all-time leading passer Aaron Murray joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest storylines heading into the 2026 college football season.

We start with the increasingly messy situation between Jayden Daniels and LSU. Daniels’ attorneys have sent LSU a cease-and-desist regarding the use of his name, image and likeness after the Tigers allowed star defensive back DJ Pickett to wear Daniels’ No. 5 — making Pickett the first LSU player to wear the number since Daniels’ Heisman Trophy season. With Lane Kiffin now leading the Tigers, should LSU have kept No. 5 out of circulation? And what does a school owe one of the greatest players in program history?

Aaron also breaks down several of the SEC’s biggest quarterback questions:

🏈 Ole Miss Football — Can Trinidad Chambliss produce similar numbers without Lane Kiffin’s offensive system?

🏈 South Carolina Football — What should Gamecock fans expect from LaNorris Sellers in Kendal Briles’ offense?

🏈 Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma — Who does Aaron Murray trust more at quarterback: Marcel Reed or John Mateer?

Plus, we ask Aaron which SEC stadiums and campuses he has never visited, and one of his answers absolutely stunned us.

From LSU and Ole Miss to South Carolina, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and the biggest quarterback storylines across the SEC, Aaron Murray gives his perspective on what could define the upcoming college football season.
