JT Daniels Chooses Fourth School With Rice Commitment, per Report

For the third time in his career, quarterback JT Daniels has found a new college home.

Daniels, who began his collegiate career at USC before stops at Georgia and West Virginia, will transfer to Rice for his sixth season, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. It will be Daniels’s third different team in as many years.

Daniels was a five-star prospect and was named Gatorade’s National Player of the Year in 2017. He got the starting job as a true freshman at USC in ’18 but suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first game of ’19. He spent the next two years at Georgia, mostly serving as a backup but performing well when he got opportunities to play. Across two seasons, he completed 69.5% of his passes for 1,953 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions over nine games, and was a member of the Bulldogs’ 2021 national championship team.
