The top 100 FSU football players: No. 51— quarterback Danny Kanell

Nowadays when your hear the name Danny Kanell you think of his stints previously on ESPN & currently on FoxSports1 as a college football analyst with his crazy, hot takes. Pretty sure most of SEC country hates his guts. But before he was a hot-take artist; Danny Kanell was a damn good college football player.

After arriving in 1992 from Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Always nice to pull an All-American from Miami’s backyard); Kanell became FSU’s first freshman back-up qb since 1985. In 1993 when a Charlie Ward injury threatened to derail FSU’s national title chances, Danny stepped in and the offense didn’t miss a beat.
