Daniels is widely considered the nation's No. 1 quarterback prospect. He's already been enrolled at University of Southern California for more than a month and will likely take over the reigns as quarterback of the Trojans.
Daniels appears on the cover of Sports Illustrated's July 30 issue with fellow athlete of the year Katelyn Tuohy of New York.
