Jayden Daniels provides update on transfer commitment timeline
After transferring from Arizona State, Jayden Daniels has been weighing his options. So far, he hasn’t made a decision yet.
Daniels took to Twitter to provide an update on where things stand in his journey through the transfer portal. Rumors swirled Thursday that Daniels was committing to Mizzou, but he made it clear that’s not true.
“I am not committed anywhere as of right now thank you,” Daniels tweeted.
Daniels entered the transfer portal Feb. 18 after telling people within the Arizona State program he decided to transfer out. It’s been a turbulent offseason for the Sun Devils, who saw both coordinators and other key assistants leave amid an NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations. Head coach Herm Edwards’ future has also been questioned, but Arizona State’s president offered an interesting reason why Edwards is still in charge during a recent radio interview.
Daniels, a former four-star recruit, is the No. 14 quarterback transfer this offseason, according to the On3 Transfer Portal Rankings. He helped Arizona State to an 8-5 overall record and 6-3 mark in Pac-12 action in 2021.
Jayden Daniels officially enters NCAA Transfer Portal
After rumors swirled, Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels entered the transfer portal on Feb. 18, On3’s Matt Zenitz has learned.
Daniels told coaches about his plans to enter the portal on Thursday, according to Sun Devil Source, and people close to him have reportedly been in touch with other schools, including a Pac-12 program.
After Daniels made the decision, Arizona State players were heard using choice words about him while cleaning out his locker. Warning: The video contains explicit language.
“(Daniels) sucks anyways,” one player appeared to say.
He tied for first in the Pac-12 with a 65.4% completion percentage to help Arizona State to an 8-5 record in 2021. He also totaled for 2,381 yards and 10 touchdowns, but threw 10 interceptions in 13 games.
At ASU, Daniels completed 62.4% of his passes for 6,025 yards and 32 touchdowns in 29 games over three years.
Out of high school from the class of 2019, Daniels was a four-star recruit and the No. 8-ranked recruit from the state of California, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
It continues to be a turbulent offseason for Arizona State, which has seen multiple assistants leave the program due to an NCAA investigation. Both Sun Devils coordinators, including offensive coordinator Zak Hill, departed. Now, their quarterback is leaving, as well.
