If not for a midseason shoulder Injury, Daniels was on track to be one college football’s most pleasant surprises in 2022. In Kansas’ first four games of the year, Daniels racked up 15 total touchdowns. Even though he saw action in just nine games due to the injury, he ranked second in the conference with 425 rushing yards among quarterbacks. He wasn’t too bad through the air either with 8.76 yards per attempt (YPT) which ranked third in the conference for signal callers with at least 100 passing attempts. Daniels was masterful in the Liberty Bowl with 544 yards and six total touchdowns, expect a huge year for the standout quarterback. Back-up Jason Bean also returns who led the conference with 9.41 YPT which just goes to show you how explosive this offense can be. Kansas doesn’t lose much on that side of the ball with 10 returning starters, including one of the more experienced offensive lines in the nation.
The plan was to redshirt Daniels during the 2021 season while North Texas transfer Jason Bean played, but Lance Leipold was forced to use his young quarterback in the Jayhawks’ final four games of the season. This paid off in a big way as Kansas pulled off a historic upset at Texas behind Daniels’ four touchdown game. In six games of action, Daniels accumulated 10 total touchdowns versus just three interceptions. Both quarterbacks are back for the 2022 season and it’s Daniels who is expected to lead the way at Kansas.
