ATLANTA — Stetson Bennett has had a college career like no other, and there’s more to come. He declared his intention to return to Georgia for a sixth collegiate season. By a matter of hours, this followed JT Daniels’ announcement that he is, yet again, taking his talents elsewhere. Daniels’ career could be the second-strangest on record.
Daniels attended Mater Dei in Santa Ana, Calif. The school lists three Heisman Trophy winners — Bryce Young being the latest — among alums. Daniels might become a fourth. It has been reported that Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has met with Daniels and receiver Jermaine Burton, both of whom have entered the transfer portal. Working under Kiffin, quarterback Matt Corral finished seventh in 2021 Heisman voting.
Daniels started for USC as a freshman. He started seven games for Georgia, none of which the Bulldogs lost. In both Los Angeles and Athens, he lost his starting job because of injury. Last summer, Daniels became one of the first to sign a big-money NIL deal. He’ll get a championship ring for his role in the Bulldogs’ national championship season. Shed no tears for Jonathan Tyler Daniels.
