This season, four names arrived with great chances of winning in the final stretch of the college season: Jayden Daniels ( LSU Tigers ), Bo Nix ( Oregon ), Michael Penix Jr. ( Washington Huskies ) and Marvin Harrison Jr. ( Ohio State ).
In a brilliant season for the Tigers, Daniels won the award last Saturday night (09) and, for the next NFL draft, arrives as one of the great revelations of North American football.

He blessed me with the talents and ability to get here. All special people here to develop these skills. To Bo, Mike and Marvin, you are amazing. I enjoy watching you, but the competition never ends. I look forward to seeing you on Sundays.”

With the important trophy won last Saturday night (09), Daniels became the third player in LSU history to win the award, which was previously held by Joe Burrow (2019) and Billy Canon (1959).
Among Jayden ‘s main characteristics, the ones that impress most are his physical strength and his ability to improvise in his calls. In the sights of major NFL franchises, the young 22-year-old quarterback has everything to be one of the first choices in the league’s next draft, which is scheduled for April 2024.
