LSU quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] has moved on and is now preparing for the 2024 NFL draft, where he could be a top-three pick. But in the meantime, he had one more collegiate award to win.
On Tuesday, Daniels was named the winner of the Manning Award, named after the prominent Manning quarterback family and given to the top quarterback in the nation annually. Daniels becomes the third Tiger to win the award, joining [autotag]JaMarcus Russell[/autotag] in 2006 and [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] in 2019.
Daniels won a near clean sweep of the quarterback awards, missing out on only the Maxwell as he also won the Heisman Trophy in 2023 after leading the nation in total yards, touchdowns and passer rating.

Daniels is seen as one of the top quarterback prospects in the draft and is essentially a lock to go in the first round.
