Daniels, a former 5-star recruit, won the starting job back in 2018 but suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the 2019 opener. While this is a big loss for USC, it was not an unexpected one. They are still left with breakout sophomore Kedon Slovis to take the starting job full-time next season.
Daniels will likely have a competitive market as he finished with 2,672 yards, 14 TDs and 10 interceptions in 11 games in his first season as a starter.
