Transfer quarterback J.T. Daniels visiting Oregon State, per report

Former Georgia quarterback J.T. Daniels is visiting Oregon State as a potential transfer destination, according to a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel.

A visit from the former 5-star prospect is a major development for the Beavers as the program looks to stabilize the quarterback position heading in the 2022 season.

Last season, Daniels started five games at Georgia, going 68 for 94 passing (72.3%) for 722 yards with seven touchdowns against three interceptions. Georgia's starter heading into 2021, injury stymied his season and Stetson Bennett took over.

Daniels has played in four different college football seasons, originally with USC, where he originally pledged as a member of the 2018 recruiting class.

The quarterback has two years of eligibility remaining after the NCAA granted another year to players because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Daniels is also considering Missouri and West Virginia, according to reports. But he won't actually transfer to a new school until he completes his Georgia course work.

J.T. Daniels at USC

The California native passed for 2,672 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a freshman and looked like the quarterback USC had been looking for since the days of Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez.

But Daniels suffered a torn ACL in the season opener of his sophomore season and he would never again play the starting role for the Trojans.

Transfer to Georgia

Daniels transferred to Georgia after the 2019 season, playing the final four games of the Bulldogs' 2020 campaign, going 4-0 in that time and leading the team to a Peach Bowl victory.

Daniels was originally the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the 2018 class and the No. 6 overall prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Oregon State's QB situation

Chance Nolan is expected to return to OSU for the 2022 season, but played inconsistently last fall. He was a 64% passer with 19 TDs and 10 picks while covering 2,677 yards in the air. Oregon State went 7-6 overall and 5-4 in the Pac-12, finishing third in the North Division
