2019 quarterback Jayden Daniels has always said he's wide open to all his options. But when coaches from USC offered him a scholarship in February, that program became the favorite to sign the product of San Bernardino Cajon HS.
Now, that's no longer the case. I've been told those around Jayden Daniels believe he's favoring UCLA over USC and his other options.
This is a quick turn of events. Bryan Ellis identified Daniels as a top quarterback target and even told him the staff would wait on his decision before offering another quarterback. Daniels seemed to be thrilled about the news.
But he was offered a scholarship by UCLA just two days ago and apparently that offer made a big impact. He grew up a fan of Chip Kelly and the Oregon Ducks. It seems because of that, UCLA's proximity to home and everything else that program can offer, the Bruins have taken control.
At least for now.
Daniels says he wants to consider all his options still. He hasn't named a list of top schools yet and he plans to take official visits in the fall.
