LSU's Jayden Daniels, who began his college career at Arizona State before transferring to Baton Rouge in 2022, won the sport's most prestigious award Saturday night after accounting for 4,946 yards of offense (3,812 passing yards, 1,134 rushing yards) and 50 total touchdowns this season.

Daniels beat out two fellow transfer quarterbacks in Washington's Michael Penix Jr and Oregon 's Bo Nix, as well as Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
