USC football is still in the middle of a quarterback battle to determine the starter for the 2019, but that’s not stopping JT Daniels from being penciled in as the presumptive No. 1 or being ranked accordingly.

In May, Athlon rated Daniels as the sixth-best quarterback in the Pac-12, so the national ranking reflects his middle-of-the-road status, just one spot ahead of Colorado’s Steven Montez and two ahead of Washington State’s Gage Gubrud, a transfer from Easter Washington.
