Jayden Daniels named to preseason Manning Award watch list

Jayden Daniels is expected to have a huge year for the Tigers.

The preseason accolades continue to rack up for LSU quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] ahead of what could be a huge final season as a college football player.

Daniels was named to the preseason watch list for the Manning Award on Tuesday, which is given annually to the most outstanding quarterback in the country. Daniels was also named to the preseason watch lists for the Davey O’Brien and Maxwell Awards.

A transfer addition from Arizona State last offseason, Daniels became one of the SEC’s top quarterbacks and turned in the most prolific rushing season for a QB in LSU history. Now, he’s expected to take another leap.

If he lives up to the lofty preseason expectations, LSU could have one of the most effective offenses in college football with a talented offensive line and a lot of weapons at the skill positions.
