From GENERATIONAL QB to BUST AT 4 SCHOOLS (What Happened to J.T. Daniels?) 

What big time QB or recruit should I take a look at next?

He was undefeated for us at Georgia… never lost… consistently threw for over 300 yards.. and lost his job to injury. TOUGH BREAK

Him and Amon Ra in high school were magic

As a Georgia fan I have nothing but respect for jt and wish him success in anything he decides to do in life thank you for being a great teammate on that 2021 championship

He will be a good coach/coordinator for down the road.

Daniels shouldn’t be classified as a bust. He didn’t live up to his promise, sure. But that’s not because he sabotaged himself. He was just hurt and lost momentum. If you watch any of his interviews, you can tell any coaching staff would want him. The dude is smart. Now how about a video of his replacement at WVU, Garrett Greene?

Unfortunately, injuries got the best of him and when he returned, his backups took advantage of their opportunity to shine and not let the starting job go.

In his freshman year at SC, I remember watching him and Michael Pittman Jr. absolutely torch my cougs. I text a friend of mine that he had some of the most impressive but raw arm talent that I had ever seen. Something seemed to be missing though (toughness, leadership, motivation, I don't know). His body language just never looked like he was confident or in control. Hard to believe 6 years later that his career took the path that it did. Great video.

JT X Amon Ra X Bru McCoy at Mater 😮🎥 it was crazy

Health hurt JT, that's all. He played well at Georgia and never loss.

I think I speak for most other WVU fans when I say we absolutely loved JT. He was a great teammate and was much better than the guy he was replacing in Jarrett Doege. However for a team that was in the middle of a long rebuild after pretty much being all but eliminated from bowl contention it just seemed like right idea to bench him for the younger guy in Garrett Greene. Greene would eventually break out and lead us to a 9-4 season this year after being picked to finish last in the big 12. Overall however, JT was a very good player for us and had some great moments as a mountaineer being a great player and mentor for Garrett. #HailWV

Do the unbelievable story of cardel jones , 3 rd sting qb wins last 3 games and the national championship, then never heard from him again

The 67 TDs in 2016 with mater dei was only playing 2 1/2 to 3 qtrs per game because mater dei was blowing teams out. If he played the full games he might have reached 100 TD passes in a season which is remarkable.

Might have benefited by staying another year in high school.

Bryce Young transferred from LA Cathedral after JT reclassified. JT was going to turn 19 after his junior year.

I hope coaching works out for him. Not unusual for great coaches to be not such great players, and great players don’t always make good coaches. Good luck JT.

JT played injured in week 1 against Clemson in 2021 which kept him limited that coupled with a majority of our wide receivers being out for that game shows why our offense struggled as much as it did

You should do Tyrell Pryor...he was a man amongst boys as a senior winning a title in two sports. The title game alone is worth a watch as he balls out.

IDK if I would consider him a bust. Injury at the worst time really killed him.

You should cover kedon slovis

As a USC fan Klovis ballin out was bittersweet bc you JT was never seeing the field after that

I saw him live USF v Rice. He put up good numbers hooking up Luke McCaffery (9-199), but most it was YAC. On the other side, Byrum Brown was bombing it to Naiem Simmons (8-272) and rushed for 82 yards and a TD In the end the Bulls won 42-29 as Daniels got injured and was replaced

Watching him it was clear to me that he never fully trusted his knee after the injury at USC. Lost a lot of juice on his passes. Between that and his bad luck staying healthy lead to his downfall. I am really looking forward to see where coaching can take him tho.

He did very well at 4 schools. Thats insane.

Spend less time on highschool but I fw the videos

Very accurate pocket passer, great teammate, very smart. The full year he played at USC his center was unable to consistently hike him a catchable snap. The entire USC line was terrible that year and he was under constant pressure. Next season he got a severe knee injury on a sack. J.T. never was particularly mobile and when he came back from injury he had to be very careful of his knee.

JT Daniels went to more schools than me 🤣

Grew up with JT in Irvine . Him and Nikki remigio were so dawgs

I’m going to start calling every person who ever touched a football a generational talent. I’ll be right eventually.

On his 3rd school (West Virgina) how was he able to play right away after transferred there???

The Tyrod Taylor of college football

Good quarterback good guy!! I liked him at West Virginia!!

He was pretty good at rice

*For football only* Has reclassifying really ever worked out for the athlete? I feel like they either become a bust or don’t live up to the potential

I think this is really misinformed... You usually hit Scott. I have video called qb crossroads on my channel which goes in depth about JT and Casey Thompson. The injuries alone he suffered was crazy, Stetson had the hot hand and Kirby would have won a Natty with JT as well. Can't classify JT as a bust when dude medically retired from the game. I was at the senior bowl, we talked to him and was the only person representing Rice supporting Luke McCaffrey while he was there. Hell of a guy and teammate. Just bad luck. He was one of the best ball spinners in the College.

I do not consider him a disappointment. Injuries play a major part of his journey in football. Big time college is a business, it will not wait for people to fully heal and get better.

A talented OC guy who went to USC and got injured. Go The OC! F USC!

He wasn't a bust. He took advantage of the football opportunities that the NCCA allowed and lucky for him he stuck around until the NIL era and hopefully was able to capitalize. He got the chance to live out his football dream maybe not at the NFL level but he earned a degree and got paid. He's given himself a good start in life, whats not to like?

He played well at Georgia. I really liked how he looked when he was in there. He’d be a good guy for a team to take a flier on. Matt Castle style.

I don't think Bust is a term for a guy who only lost his job due to injuries. His time at USC, GA & Rice were really injury driven. Without injury, he remains the starter. West Virginia is really the only place that he was benched.

I am a UGA fan and have always rooted for him but it seemed like he could never stay healthy but when he started at Georgia he was pretty good

Stetson didn't really struggle except for two games in 2021. Struggled throughout the first half vs. Florida. But right near the end of the half Georgia scored three tds in a matter of minutes and the game was over. He struggled vs. Bama in the SECCG and lost. Most of the fans wanting JT were just questioning whether Stetson could win a title. But he played well that year. If he were struggling the way you claim here, JT would've gotten another look. JT got Wally Pipped and it proved the right move. Also, it was never really clear that season when JT was really ready to play. Lots of rumors that he was cleared but he and his parents didn't think he should play yet, etc.

He will make a good college coach some day.

He was good but he never could stay healthy.

I followed him ever since he transferred to Georgia; I was rlly sad to see his career go the way it did because I really thought that he could build a great career and get drafted

🦁

Sometimes it just doesnt workout. And thats okay.

That man will make a great college football coach one day. I’m calling it meow

People need to understand QB rankings are based primarily on your arm and the throws you are able to make. Little to do with the processing/mental part of playing QB. It is simple, the QBs who are able to make NFL throws with proper velocity in high school are the most likely to go to the NFL. Same way 5 star recruits at other positions are based on the fact that the easiest players to project to the NFL already have NFL size and athleticism in HS. Little to do with skill/technique/IQ.

He wasn’t a bust. He busted his ass. The was probably the most accurate passer in Georgia history.

He got Luke McCaffrey on draft boards

JT is a tremendous guy and a really good player, it just didn't work out for him. I think he sees the bigger picture of life

If JT never got hurt at Georgia he probably would of been a star big what if

Sounds like you're either in an empty room or there's too much reverb on your voice. Aside from that, good stuff as usual.

I think you’ll be doing a similar video about Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning in a few years.

He'll make a good coach. Let's give a little compassion. It's not easy competing. Those numbers are pretty good, right...God Bless You All In Jesus Name.

His issue at USC and UGA was his sense of entitlement in wanting to be given the starting QB position after being injured rather than competing for it and winning it out right. When he didn't get it, like a spoiled kid, he left.. as for his time at WV and Rice, didn't care to keep track of him, heard his stats were less than impressive coming from a so called 5 star.

I watched a few games he played QB at Rice. There’s no denying his arm talent. I don’t know why he didn’t have a lot of success in college. I guess you can blame the injuries.

JT won a Championship Ring ! Injuries killed his career

Its very hard to project QBs. Of any position, high school scouts get QB wrong the most.

The moment that kid left high school early, you kind of knew that it was a huge chance that he will probably be a bust. A 17-year-old in that environment under that amount of pressure trying to figure out how to transition to college. You knew there was an overwhelming chance that he could fall flat on his face.

I think he’d be great in the UFL

I think his main problem was he kept transferring which required him to learn so many systems.

Unfortunately like a lot of football players, he just couldn't stay healthy. When he was healthy he was decent. I believe he intends on getting into coaching.

It's safe to say that he was a super senior.

He took/got the credit from all the players around him, we see it happen yearly, its how we get the hype built around players, i.e. texas has 3 stud receivers but quinn for some reason has to get half the credit. I seen this guy throw in a youtube short and i started praying for stetson Bennett and the prayers paid off 🍻

I just remember this guy just from playing TX like 5 times with different teams lol Didn't Slovis end up at BYU too

One of the best California HS quarterbacks of all time

It depends when these guys peak. Some peak in HS ( Spencer Rattler) , and some reach their peak in college. And others peak in their pro careers ( Tom Brady ).

He made a HUGE mistake transferring to Georgia where he wasn't the named starter. A QB MUST get playing time to develop their skills. Spencer Rattler is the perfect example of how to choose the right school.

Enjoy your videos, but you gotta upgrade mic or get better sound deadening. Sound like your studio a 1000sq ft

JT had the misfortune of playing for Clay Helton and he had a center who was totally unreliable. Probably about half the time he was fielding bad snaps in the shotgun. His biggest mistake was transferring from USC. He had the talent but not the patience to let things play out at USC.

His last season wasn’t that bad

JT should take a year off, get healthy, and tryout for the UFL. But, I think a year off is necessary. At WVU, The O-Line was lackluster, and Greene’s mobility in RPO worked better with the personnel. Players shouldn’t start at 17 at a Top Tier program like USC.

No one ever called him generational. He was considered a solid first round prospect, at best.

Regardless of what you say there’s a no win situation to transfer that many damn times

BABE WAKE UP, NEW SCOTT FISHER JUST DROPPED

If JT doesn't get hurt week 1 at SC this isn't even a thing. And then went to UGA and played well, but got hurt again. More bad luck than anything

USC's matador OL ruined the kid not just physically but mentally; and he was never the same.

I think at Georgia, the locker room was behind Bennett. Daniels was the better passer than Bennett but Stetson was right leader for that team. But I thought Daniels was a class act in how he handled the situation. I wish him luck

He got hurt don’t blame him blame the injures

he ought to use the UFL to see if he could get a pro career started

Solid QB that would have had a much better collegiate career if not for injuries and bad timing.

Guy got bit with the injury bug. One after another, knee, shoulder, the other should, back, ribs.

Yea the unfortunate fact about going to big schools is they always have good replacements if anything happens !!!!

I dont feel he was a bust. He did fine at uga. The talent level at the other schools didn't help with the concussion. I think he will make a good coach.

USC has a long history of busts Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Sam Darnold. Let's up Caleb does not end up down the same road.

It normal for anyone go pro he in coaching internship west georgia been fashion model be bjj as hobb he coached still is Jordan plummer read too many stories on JT saw him play live five times

Not in a category of bust. He really was a great qb

It always sounds weird to me to hear someone went to college more than four years and playing football.

He should compete with young for the Carolina job.

Bust? No fukn way! That injury really killed his career at SC. Slovis torched it and he moved on and on and on. Definitely not a bust

So much left out here, especially with his time at West Virginia and rice - no mention of his good games, no mention of his receivers at either school. It wasn’t all downs at either stop , no mention of whether all of the concussions had an effect. Good up through georgia but then the lack of research shows.

If he hadn't gotten that knee injury at USC you never know

I saw him play in High school and never ever thought he would make it. He was on a very good team. But never thought he was special.

Injuries are awful and they drain you of all that energy just to rehab and comeback and rehab and back constantly doing it will take your love out of the game for it.. plus the human body can only take so much before it shuts down do to preservation....

His Downfall started from the Getgo by reclassifying and signing up to play for ex-HC Paris Helton ex-HC Paris Helton is the Worst Coach in USC History!

Watched him at USC and then at Rice. When I first saw him at Rice I went, "Hey wait a second, I know this guy." He really was good at Rice. The team was overmatched, but with him they were able to win games. It was kind of like putting a pro player in with a bunch of low-level college guys (and McCaffrey). He was obviously far better than anyone else on the team. Most of the top QB prospects in the draft this year played on teams that were far better than most of their opponents. So sad that he got hurt AGAIN. I don't call guys whose careers were ruined by injuries as busts, just unlucky. Bust is way overused. I've seen people label guys who had excellent careers starting in the NFL for 10 years labeled as busts. Quit doing that.

Men can physically peak early like in high school and are toast in college. Sometimes Little Leaguers do the same. Kids can be great when kids but stink in college. It's not unheard of

Doesnt sound like he flamed out at Rice, sounds like he was going crazy just got injured. It happens
