Daniels was impressive in 2022, recording 2,014 passing yards and 18 TD passes for Kansas. The promising QB was named the Big 12 Conference Preseason Offensive Player of the Year in 2023. Unfortunately, he only partook in three games after a recurring back injury and was sidelined for the rest of the season. Backup QB Jason Bean took over and led the Jayhawks to a 9-4 overall campaign and a Guaranteed Rate Bowl victory over UNLV.
