“Once Jayden had made his decision to go into the portal, there are discussions,” Kelly said. “We’re looking at the portal like the free agency board. Does he fit our culture? Does he fit the offense? There are internal discussions in those first couple days. Contact was made and it was up to us whether we were going to reciprocate, and obviously, we did.

“He brings more than extending plays. We think there’s a lot that has not been tapped into for his ability to be a dual-threat quarterback. He’s got arm talent, high IQ and he’s a talented runner of the football. We think there’s much more to it.”

Daniels is one of four LSU quarterbacks that will be competing for the starting spot, along with Myles Brennan, Garrett Nussmeier, and Walker Howard. Spring Practice officially begins on Thursday afternoon.
