JT Daniels Named to the Walter Camp Watch List
West Virginia quarterback JT Daniels was one of 52 players named to the Walter Camp 2022 Player of the Year Preseason Watch List on Friday. The award is the nation’s fourth-oldest individual college football accolade.
The Georgia transfer was 9-0 as a starter in his two seasons with the Bulldogs. Last Season, Daniels had the to-be 2022 National Champion Georgia Bulldogs off to a 5-0 start, throwing for 722 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 72.3% of his passes before he was sidelined due to an injured latissimus dorsi. Stetson Bennet IV took over the starting duties, and despite returning to full health weeks later, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart remained with Bennet in fear of losing momentum.

Daniels transferred to Georgia from USC where, as a true freshman, he threw for 2,672 yards and 14 touchdowns, completing 59.5% of his passes in 11 games with the Trojans.
Newly hired WVU offensive coordinator Graham Harrell was brought into USC as OC Daniels sophomore season. He tossed for 215 yards and a touchdown in the 2019 season opener versus Fresno State before suffering a season-ending in the second quarter.
Daniels, hailing from Irvine, California, has thrown for 4,840 yards and 32 touchdowns for his career.
The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced the names of 52 “players to watch” for its 2022 Player of the Year award, the nation’s fourth-oldest individual college football accolade.
