Jayden Daniels quickly became a sought after quarterback in the transfer portal once he announced his intention to move on from Arizona State. He received plenty of interest from SEC programs, and reportedly committed on Sunday afternoon.
Daniels committed to LSU, according to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN. He entered the transfer portal about 2 and a half weeks ago.
Daniels is not only an experienced QB, but also productive. In 3 years with the Sun Devils, he passed for 6,025 yards, 32 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, and added 1,288 yards and 13 scores as a runner.

The Sun Devils went 8-5 in 2021, as Daniels passed for 2,381 yards, 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Daniels decision to leave Arizona State came after offensive coordinator Zak Hill resigned in January after being placed on administrative leave during an NCAA investigation that alleges improper recruiting practices before the 2020 season.
The Sun Devils also lost quarterback Ethan Long to the transfer route in January, but the staff brought in Alabama quarterback transfer Paul Tyson to compete for the starting quarterback job.
