[autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] is expected to have a big year in his fifth and final season of college football this fall, and the LSU quarterback has now been named to the preseason watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award.
The Davey O’Brien Award is given annually to the top signal-caller in college football. Daniels looks to become the second LSU quarterback to win the award after [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] did so in 2019.
Daniels had a huge bounce-back season in 2022 as a transfer from Arizona State. He led LSU to a 10-win season, starting every game. He threw 17 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions and had the most prolific rushing season for a quarterback in Tigers history.
