Daniels. a 6-3, 210-pound junior, started in Georgia’s season-opening 10-3 win over Clemson and completed 22-of-30 passes for 135 yards.
Interestingly, Stetson Bennett, who threw five touchdown passes in the win against Blazers a week ago, isn’t listed as the clear No. 2 QB. He’s listed as “or” with Carson Beck as the back-up.
Also revealed in the flipchart is that Darnell Washington, who has been dealing with a foot injury, is expected to start at tight end, while Tykee Smith, who is also dealing with a foot injury, is listed as “or” with Latavious Brini at the STAR position.
