ESPN rated him a four-star tackle and ranked him No. 151 nationally in the 2024 class.Daniels signed with Georgia and played sparingly as a reserve over two seasons. He redshirted in 2024 and was listed as a redshirt freshman in 2025. On 23 November 2025 he was arrested after a police chase and charged with felony fleeing, two counts of second-degree child cruelty and other offenses, along with traffic charges. Georgia dismissed him the next day, with Kirby Smart saying Daniels would no longer be with the team, and no outcome of the case has been reported.
Daniels signed with FCS program Tarleton State on 25 June 2026. He has played in one game this season, logging 51 snaps, and has not allowed a pressure.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Massive frame for a tackle, with rare size
- Did not allow a pressure in 51 snaps this season
- Former four-star recruit from a powerhouse high school program
- Won three state titles at New Jersey power Bergen Catholic
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Arrested in November 2025 and dismissed from Georgia
- Felony charges from that arrest have no reported outcome
- Has played only one game this season at Tarleton State
- Barely played at Georgia over two seasons as a reserve
- Average athlete for a tackle, with a middling forty time
Scouting Report: Summary
Daniels is a huge tackle prospect with a strong high school background. He was a four-star recruit, won three state titles and has rare size for the position.However, he was arrested and dismissed from Georgia in November 2025, and the charges have no reported outcome. He barely played at Georgia and has played only one game at Tarleton State, so there is almost no college film.
Overall, Daniels has size teams cannot teach but major off-field and experience questions. He projects as a priority free agent at best and will face heavy background checks.
