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

- Coming out of high school, J.T. Daniels was a five star recruit and a prodigy type player at the QB position. So much so that he was the starter at USC at only 17 years old, but after that, it was tough sledding for JT. He played at 4 different schools, struggled to stay healthy and never lived up to the hype. Today, we are going to be talking about the rise & fall of JT Daniels, his story and what is next for him, enjoy!

What big time QB or recruit should I take a look at next?
I'd like to see a video about Malcolm Perry, his senior year was amazing
Tyler Van Dyke to Wisconsin. Could save the program or be bust.
James Blackmon
An interesting topic could be Sam Huard. He was the 4th best qb in the nation and is now flopping at Cal Poly
GRANT GUNNELL
He was undefeated for us at Georgia… never lost… consistently threw for over 300 yards.. and lost his job to injury. TOUGH BREAK
Stetson Bennett, a less physically gifted walk on beat out a more physically gifted 5 star recruit, by working hard and taking full advantage of his opportunity which he did. A great story from a great era of UGA football.
@@MiRi-zi4wpwhat’s Stetson doing in the league these days? Haven’t heard anything about him.
@@KarlPostMalone He's 3rd string for the Rams
@@KarlPostMalone He led his college team to back-to-back championships, not bad for an undersized weak armed "WALK ON." He signed a pro contract worth more than you will ever make in your life so bashing him really tells were you must be in life... Facts.
Yeah Kirby hates playing 5 stars fields eason daniels vandagriff learned the hard way
Him and Amon Ra in high school were magic
Should’ve seen him in youth football lmao had to play him in the 8th grade San Diego championship he was on the most OP team ever
@@Tee-um5mz lol you can look up the IE ducks 2014
Crazy to think him and ARSB graduated together. ARSB has spent the past 3 seasons establishing himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL while Daniels is still trying to crack a D1 starting lineup in like his 9th year
@@Tee-um5mzstupid ass comment
@@jmdubbs1354 medically retired because of concussions
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.
Doubt it.
What’s the reasoning behind that?
@@michaelfrick8928cause he’s white
And teach what? To quit when things don't go your way?
@@MiRi-zi4wptransferring to a better situation isn't quitting it's just being smart
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?
yea he was doing good at uga
Dude is 100% a bust 😂
Yall need to stop changing the definition. He had a couple good games at the end of one season, and sucked all the rest of the time at the power 5.
Re-classifying is tough already, but as a quarterback it is intensely difficult due to the demands of the position. The term "bust" is pretty negative, granted he came with tons of expectations but at the end of the day he got to do what millions dreamed of (playing college ball, getting paid, and for some a free education).
He got Luke McCaffrey on draft boards
@@DogDongDotCom why is it so hard to call people busts? The amount of busts from Cali QBs is astronomical. They play on these super elite teams in high school with all this talent around them, and it makes them look way better than they are. Then not only did this kid essentially lose a crucial developmental year in high school by leaving a year early, he lost a crucial developmental college year by playing immediately.
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.
But he sucked period. He had a few good games at the end of one season and sucked the rest of the time in the power 5.

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
That img game was crazyb
Health hurt JT, that's all. He played well at Georgia and never loss.
He did lose. He lost is starting position to Stetson Bennett a walk on.
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
JT Christ :)
You guys had to have someone mobile at that time while the line was rebuilding. After all those injuries, JT wasn't it.
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.
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
He didn't play much in college, but was promising enough to get picked in the 4th round, made a few teams, faded away.
Bryce Young transferred from LA Cathedral after JT reclassified. JT was going to turn 19 after his junior year.
Might have benefited by staying another year in high school.
I didn't even know you could leave before your senior year, that just sounds wrong and weird.
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.
You should cover kedon slovis
IDK if I would consider him a bust. Injury at the worst time really killed him.
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.
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
As a USC fan Klovis ballin out was bittersweet bc you JT was never seeing the field after that
Spend less time on highschool but I fw the videos
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.
JT Daniels went to more schools than me 🤣
Dude set a New record for most Transfers outta any prospect.
@Cooljohn760 yeah transferring to 4 school is kind of respectable ngl 😅 he got al of them to take a chance lol
On his 3rd school (West Virgina) how was he able to play right away after transferred there???
Grew up with JT in Irvine . Him and Nikki remigio were so dawgs
He did very well at 4 schools. Thats insane.
Good quarterback good guy!! I liked him at West Virginia!!
I’m going to start calling every person who ever touched a football a generational talent. I’ll be right eventually.
🦁
A talented OC guy who went to USC and got injured. Go The OC! F USC!
The Tyrod Taylor of college football
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.
Daniels retired due to concussions.
He wasn’t a bust. He busted his ass. The was probably the most accurate passer in Georgia history.
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.
Not sure what is misinformed. All it is is article clippings, quotes and websites. He can still be a bust even if it's not his fault or out of his control
@@ScottFisherCFBto most a bust would be you were supposed to be great but then sucked bad. Lol. I see their logic. He did pretty good at uga
Stop the glazing just bc you met him. Bro did not pan out just stop it. He was not one of the best ball spinners. That’s simply not true.
@@Boobiejonshorts I met Micheal Vick. Too bad I didn't have any good dead dog jokes back in 2001. Lol.
This comment is spot on
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 will make a good college coach some day.
Why you have to focus on people falling short of their dreams. Never a bust. Dude worked his ass off…he’ll be successful in whatever career he pursues. Good luck JT!
That man will make a great college football coach one day. I’m calling it meow
He was good but he never could stay healthy.
Sometimes it just doesnt workout. And thats okay.
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 was pretty good at rice
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.
He got Luke McCaffrey on draft boards
It’s the opposite. Luke made him look somewhat decent
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
*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 you’ll be doing a similar video about Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning in a few years.
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
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.
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.
If JT never got hurt at Georgia he probably would of been a star big what if
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
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.
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.
If it factored in heart and character his ranking would drop. Correct.
I think he’d be great in the UFL
Enjoy your videos, but you gotta upgrade mic or get better sound deadening. Sound like your studio a 1000sq ft
Its very hard to project QBs. Of any position, high school scouts get QB wrong the most.
It's safe to say that he was a super senior.
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.
Almost every 5 star is an early enrollee
He wasn’t 17. He was 18 and turned 19 that year. He was a redshirt in high school. Was held back a year. So not that young.
@@kylek1556 no such thing as a redshirt in high school Lmao he reclassified when he was in middle school so he should’ve been class of 18 not class of 19
BABE WAKE UP, NEW SCOTT FISHER JUST DROPPED
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 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
He was good, but there are dozens better
JT won a Championship Ring ! Injuries killed his career
His last season wasn’t that bad
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.
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 🍻
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.
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.
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.
Regardless of what you say there’s a no win situation to transfer that many damn times
He got hurt don’t blame him blame the injures
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 ).
The era from 2016-2018 was just bad for quarterbacks. JT Daniels was among the best quarterback prospects from a bad 2018 class. Trevor Lawrence was the number one rated quarterback prospect and Justin Fields was number two, but after that, none of the rest of the top quarterback prospects did much of anything in the NFL.
USC's matador OL ruined the kid not just physically but mentally; and he was never the same.
I think his main problem was he kept transferring which required him to learn so many systems.
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.
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.
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!
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.
he ought to use the UFL to see if he could get a pro career started
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
Guy got bit with the injury bug. One after another, knee, shoulder, the other should, back, ribs.
No one ever called him generational. He was considered a solid first round prospect, at best.
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
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
Solid QB that would have had a much better collegiate career if not for injuries and bad timing.
Not in a category of bust. He really was a great qb
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
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.
He did pretty good at uga with talent around him. He got injured and the OC liked the more mobile qb
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 always sounds weird to me to hear someone went to college more than four years and playing football.
Yea the unfortunate fact about going to big schools is they always have good replacements if anything happens !!!!
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
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....
He should compete with young for the Carolina job.
What makes you think he is worth a spot on a team?
I’m liking your videos, but I think you need to invest in a better microphone. Too much echo, like you are on iPhone speaker.
