In an odd twist of fate, it seems that Kedon Slovis' emergence last fall as he seized the USC starting quarterback job away from an injured JT Daniels, might end up a net positive for Daniels.

In surprising news Wednesday, as reported by Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel, expected Georgia starter Jamie Newman has decided to opt out of the season and turn his focus to the 2021 NFL Draft. Daniels, who transferred to Georgia this spring and received immediate eligibility from the NCAA, is now projected as the starter if he can receive medical clearance on his surgically repaired knee.
