It’s official. USC transfer quarterback JT Daniels is a Georgia Bulldog per his Twitter account. The former 5-star out of Santa Ana, California was the No. 6 prospect in the 2018 recruiting class and the No. 3 rated quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields.

As a freshman, Daniels threw for 2,672 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He entered the transfer portal in mid-April after his sophomore season was derailed by a knee injury. USC’s Kedon Slovis stepped in while Daniels was down and played well for the Trojans, making the transfer portal one of the only options for Daniels – reminiscent of the Eason/Fromm situation…
Georgia will have a lot of talent in its quarterback room this year.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the news:

If JT Daniels is immediately eligible — which isn’t known at this time — I’ll likely jump Georgia back over Florida in my 2020 SEC East predictions https://t.co/MaAU8fUMDY

Endorsement for Kirby Smart’s hire of Todd Monken?
• Jamie Newman transfers from Wake
• 2021 5-star QB commits
• JT Daniels transfers from USCMonken will bring a much-needed shot of downfield passing and explosiveness to UGA

As interesting as this is — Jamie Newman is still the best Georgia QB.
By a long shot. https://t.co/LMA6kpsyQb

JT Daniels probably won’t get a waiver. Jamie Newman is a senior. Newman in 2020; Daniels in 2021 and beyond.
For anyone saying this means Georgia doesn’t like Newman, no…
— Clint Lamb (@ClintRLamb) May 28, 2020
There it is, JT Daniels to Georgia.
I think this is the move, whenever he's eligible, that finally brings a national championship back to Athens. https://t.co/vfcPqbfAZf
