When Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels has been on the field, few players in college football have been able to match what he’s capable of.
The problem for Daniels has been staying on the field. He’s missed games with injuries each of the last four seasons and only played three games in 2023 before a back injury sidelined him. Daniels made second-team All-Big 12 in 2022 despite playing in just nine games.
ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg thinks Daniels could be college football’s “most exciting player” in 2024 if he stays healthy.
From ESPN: “There's a hold-your-breath feeling around one of college football's most breathtaking players. If Daniels can just get to Aug. 29, when Kansas opens its season against Lindenwood, the possibilities for both him and his team are tantalizing. National honors are on the table. So are a Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff spot, unfathomable when Daniels came to Kansas in 2020.”
