When Jayden Daniels transferred to LSU almost two years ago, his ex-Arizona State teammates were recorded emptying his locker and making snide remarks.

The resurfaced footage, reportedly captured by defensive lineman Travez Moore, shows a group of Daniels' ex-teammates gathered around his locker, removing his personal belongings.

"Clear his s--t out. ... He sucks anyways," they said as they emptied Daniels’ locker following his transfer to LSU.

Despite that, Daniels made sure to thank his former Arizona State teammates after being awarded the Heisman Trophy this season.

This did not go unnoticed, with former NFL wide receiver JJ Birden saying:

"And it was nice touch on his part because he still thanked his ASU teammates."

NFL cornerback for the Miami Dolphins, Jalen Ramsey, also weighed in, stating:

"All them dudes was lame for that anyways."

Daniels, 22, has had an incredible year, culminating in his victory of the prestigious Heisman Trophy on Saturday. In addition, he was named AP Player of the Year.

In his heartfelt speech, Daniels expressed his gratitude towards his teammates, both from Arizona State and LSU.

"I want to thank all my teammates from Arizona State to LSU, you're my brothers," Daniels said. "You work so hard every day and inspire me to be my best. The truth is I will truly miss all you guys.
"Having future NFL players on the team makes my job look easy. My receivers always say this, they're like Waffle House, they're always open.”

The fifth-year player received 503 first-place votes and 2,029 points, securing the trophy.

Washington's Michael Penix Jr. finished a close second, followed by Oregon's Bo Nix in the third position, thus highlighting the prominence of transfer QBs in this year's Heisman Trophy race. Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. rounded off the top four, scoring 20 first-place votes and 352 points overall.
