Jersey Numbers 5 and 9. Two of the greatest.

It comes as no surprise that LSU has yet to reissue Joe Burrow's No. 9 since the 2019 national championship season or Jayden Daniels' No. 5 since the end of the 2023 season.

It's also worth noting that LSU has never reissued a Heisman winner's number. Billy Cannon's No. 20 was permanently retired, and No. 9 and No. 5 have remained untouched.

Since it's the dead of the offseason, here's a question for the Rant: Where do you stand on future jersey retirements for Joe and Jayden... and maybe even statues? When do you think Verge and the board of supervisors will greenlight this?

Should LSU stick with jersey retirements, or should it also build statues like Texas, Auburn, and Florida have for their greatest players?

I imagine Tiger Stadium's architectural graphics for Joe and Jayden would eventually be updated as part of a jersey retirement ceremony, similar to the honors for Billy Cannon, Jerry Stovall, Tommy Casanova, and Charles Alexander.

Should there be more for our recent Heisman winners, and when?
