Daniels began his collegiate career at Arizona State before moving to LSU. He completed 68.5% of his passes for 16 touchdown and 2,776 yards.

Daniels was a part of the LSU team that reached the SEC Championship game. In the final College Football Playoff poll, the Tigers were ranked 17th.

He is poised to be a starter for all five of his collegiate seasons because of his extra year of eligibility.

On January 2nd, the Citrus Bowl will have a game against the Boilermakers. There is an hour and a half later.

LSU will be a strong contender for the College Football Playoff title if all the key parts are back in place. Before losing to Texas A&M, the Tigers had a chance to get there.
