LSU receiver CJ Daniels discusses why he left Liberty for LSU

LSU wide receiver CJ Daniels on why he transferred to LSU.

When LSU receiver [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] spoke to the media last week, he revealed why he decided to transfer to LSU.

“For me, I was looking to play at the highest level. It’s every kid’s dream and I think LSU was the perfect spot for me, just because of the legacy of receivers. I’ve been an LSU fan just based on the receivers that come in and out of here,” Daniels said.

Daniels embraces the opportunity to catch passes from LSU QB [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] too.

“That’s my guy,” Daniels said of Nussmeier, “I can ask him about anything, whether it’s on the field or off the field. We’ve been doing a lot behind the scenes that’s helping our chemistry and I’m really excited for this upcoming season that he’s going to have.”

According to On3, Daniels was the No. 100 ranked transfer this cycle. That makes him LSU’s top-rated transfer of the cycle.

Daniels took some time to adjust as he got acclimated in the spring, but he’s taken control of a starting spot in fall camp. Daniels, alongside [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] and [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag], has a chance to form one of the top receiving trios in the SEC.

LSU needs it after losing [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] to the NFL draft.

By all accounts, Daniels is ready to play at an SEC level. His numbers at Liberty were some of the most efficient in the sport and he adds needed experience to LSU’s WR group.
