Jayden Daniels had a fantastic run with the LSU Tigers this season and on Friday, the team appeared to send a message to the Heisman Trophy voters.
The Tigers purchased a billboard featuring Daniels in Las Vegas, where Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and Washington signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. will play in the 2023 Pac-12 Championship.
No. 5 Oregon (11-1, 8-1) finished second in the Pac-12 this season, only behind No. 3 Washington (12-0, 9-0). Their title game is scheduled to commence at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 1.
While the limelight was supposed to be on Heisman contenders Nix and Penix, No. 13 LSU ensured to continue campaigning for Daniels to win the coveted award.
