USC quarterback JT Daniels, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL and meniscus in Week 1 against Fresno State, will return to school next season and compete for the starting job with Kedon Slovis.
Steve Daniels, who is JT's father, relayed the information to Greg Biggins of 247Sports:
"JT is definitely staying. He's happy for [USC head coach Clay Helton] and has a great relationship with him but to be honest, no matter what happened with the coaching situation, JT was going to stay and compete. He loves it at SC, he has an SC tattoo on his leg so he's pretty committed to the program.
