Jayden Daniels: The 2023 Heisman Trophy Winner

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels won the 2023 Heisman Trophy, becoming the third Tigers player to receive the honor[1]. He finished first in the voting, ahead of Michael Penix Jr., Bo Nix, and Marvin Harrison Jr.[1]. Daniels had an outstanding season, accounting for 50 touchdowns and showcasing his skills as both a passer and a runner[1]. He is the first true dual-threat quarterback to win the award since Kyler Murray in 2018[1].

Some key points about Daniels’ season include:

• He threw for over 3,800 yards and 40 touchdowns[2].
• He was the second FBS player with 40 pass touchdowns, 10 rush scores, and 1,000 rushing yards in a season, the other being Murray in 2018[3].
• Daniels led all FBS players in QBR (95.7), yards per attempt (11.7, an FBS record), and passing touchdowns (40)[3].
• His 72.2 completion percentage was seventh in the nation, while his total offensive yards per game (412.2) were first, 74 yards better than the next best player[3].
• As a runner, Daniels was topped by only 25 running backs in yards per game, and his 8.4 rushing yards per attempt was good enough for fourth in FBS among all running backs[3].

Daniels was a four-star recruit out of Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California, and was ranked as the No.1 dual-threat quarterback in the country, the No. 5 recruit in California, and the No. 35 overall recruit in the Class of 2019[4]. He transferred to LSU in 2022 after three seasons at Arizona State[5].
