2024 Pass/Rush Projections
Out for bowl, preparing for draft
Daniels announced Monday that he will opt out of playing in LSU's Jan. 1 matchup with Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl and will instead begin preparations for the 2024 NFL Draft, Wilson Alexander of The Baton Rouge Advocate reports.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year senior is projected to be a first-round pick in April, coming off a dazzling season that culminated with him joining Joe Burrow as LSU's second Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback in the last five years. In his second season as the Tigers' starting quarterback, Daniels completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 1,134 yards and 10 scores on 135 carries over 12 games. Redshirt sophomore Garrett Nussmeier is expected to garner his first career start in Daniels' stead during the bowl game.

2020
The Arizona State transfer shined brightly in his first season at LSU under the direction of new head coach Brian Kelly. Daniels threw for nearly 3,000 yards and posted a 17:3 TD:INT. He registered multiple touchdown passes in six contests in 2022. Daniels also completed a career-best 68.6-percent of his passes. He was incredibly dynamic with his legs as well, rushing for an additional 885 yards and 11 more scores. Daniels had three 100-yard rushing outings for the Tigers. After briefly testing the waters for the NFL Draft, Daniels decided to return to LSU for his senior campaign. Leading receiver Malik Nabers also returns to Death Valley, as the duo formed a potent combination with 72 connections for 1,017 yards a season ago. Daniels will not only be considered one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country heading into the season, but also a dark horse for the Heisman trophy.
