3. Jacob De Jesus (79.8) - California

4. CJ Daniels (79.7) - Miami

5. Dane Key (78.4) - Nebreaska

6. Eric Rivers (78.0) - Georgia Tech

Daniels dealt with an injury throughout 2024 but was a real contributor when he was in the lineup. He caught 42 passes for 480 yards but never found the end zone.

Before he ventured to LSU, Daniels was one of the most efficient receivers in the country. In 2023 at Liberty, he caught 55 passes for 1,067 yards, an average of 19.4 yards per catch. He also caught 10 touchdowns.

He has 2,434 career receiving yards, scoring 21 touchdowns. Daniels, 6-2, dealt with knee and ankle injuries.

The Hurricanes receiving rom have a lot to prove this season with a new look offense in the reciver room and at quarterback. Competition will be there as Daniels will look to stand above and beyond the rest of the room.
