Freshman JT Daniels named USC’s starting quarterback

The wait is finally over.

After weeks of deliberation about who would be USC’s starting quarterback on Week 1 vs. UNLV, coach Clay Helton finally cleared up what we all thought all along.

True freshman JT Daniels, who should be preparing to face La Mirada High instead of UNLV right now, has won the starting quarterback job for the Trojans football team.

“We had a very healthy quarterback competition this year with four incredible young men. All are tremendous people, teammates and football players,” Helton said in a statement, per Reign of Troy.
