He aended up tearing his ACL at the start of the 2019 season and was replaced as the starter by Kedon Slovis before entering the transfer portal. Daniels found himself at Georgia in 2020 and worked his way up to becoming the starter. He started the 2021 season as the starting quarterback, but another injury left him out and had Stetson Bennet thrown into the role. Daniels played once more for them that season before being transferred again to West Virginia last season. Daniels had 2,107 passing yard and 13 touchdown passes over the course of ten games and the Mountaineers finished 5-7.
