Jayden Daniels (born December 18, 2000) is an American professional football quarterback for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He played three seasons of college football for the Arizona State Sun Devils and two with the LSU Tigers, winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy with the latter after leading the FBS in total yards and setting its single-season passer rating record. Daniels was selected by the Commanders second overall in the 2024 NFL draft, with the season seeing him set the rookie single-game completion percentage record as well as a game-winning Hail Mary pass as time expired in a play known as the Madhouse in Maryland.

Early life

Daniels was born on December 18, 2000, in Fontana, California, and raised in nearby San Bernardino.[1] As a youth, he played flag football, basketball, and soccer before attending Cajon High School in 2015.[2] Daniels, named the starting quarterback of Cajon's varsity team as a freshman, required a medical waiver to play due to being undersized for the position at 125lb.[1] He led the team to the CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) Inland Division playoffs that year, losing to Heritage in the semifinals.[3] He broke the little finger of his throwing hand in the first game of the 2016 season but missed no games.[4] In 2017, Daniels led Cajon to a Citrus Belt League (CBL) title and an appearance in the Division 2-AA state finals against Junípero Serra while setting the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) record for total yards in a season with 6,431.[5] [6] He led Cajon to another CBL title as a senior in 2018 before falling to Sierra Canyon in the CIF-SS Division 3 championship.[7] He was named the men's recipient of the Ken Hubbs Award, given annually the top high school athletes in the greater San Bernardino area, following the season.[8]

He played 53 games at Cajon and set CIF-SS records with 211 touchdowns (170 passing, 41 rushing) and 17,642 career yards (14,007 passing, 3,635 rushing).[5] [8] Daniels also participated in hurdling and the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay sprints at the school.[9] [10] Ranked the top dual-threat quarterback prospect of his class by 247Sports,[11] he participated in the 2018 Elite 11 quarterback skills competition and threw two touchdowns in the 2019 Under Armour High School All-America Game.[12] [13] Daniels received 25 college football offers before choosing the Sun Devils of Arizona State University in December 2018.[5] He graduated from Cajon and enrolled in January 2019.[5]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Daniels and the Sun Devils played only four games in the 2020 season. One of the games included a win against the Arizona Wildcats, the most points scored by a team in the history of the state rivalry.[20] He led the Pac-12 in completion percentage (65.4) for the 2021 season, throwing for 2,381 yards with 10 touchdowns and rushing for 710 yards with 6 touchdowns en route to an appearance in the 2021 Las Vegas Bowl against the Wisconsin Badgers.[21] [22] Due to significant coaching staff turnover following the season, in which several had been fired following an NCAA investigation into the team for COVID-related recruiting violations, Daniels entered the transfer portal in February 2022.[23] His mother Regina was later implicated in helping arrange unofficial visits for recruits.[24]

LSU (2022–2023)

Daniels was named a team captain for the 2023 season.[32] In a Week 9 game against the Alabama Crimson Tide, he sustained a concussion from a hit by Dallas Turner.[33] Daniels returned the following week against the Florida Gators, setting an SEC record with 606 total yards and becoming the first player in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history to have 350 yards passing and 200 yards rushing in a single game.[34] He tied another SEC record a week later against the Georgia State Panthers by scoring eight touchdowns.[35] Daniels won the Heisman Trophy among several other awards after scoring 50 touchdowns (40 passing, 10 rushing), leading the NCAA with 4,946 total yards (3,812 passing, 1,134 rushing), and setting the single-season passer rating record (208.0).[36] He was the third LSU player to win the Heisman behind Billy Cannon in 1959 and Joe Burrow in 2019.[36] Daniels sat out of the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl in January to prepare for the NFL draft.[37] He finished his career top ten in FBS history with 16,056 total yards and the only to pass for 12,000 yards while rushing for 3,000.[38]
