Quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to be one of the top picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Recent speculation has suggested that he may prefer to go to a team other than the Washington Commanders, who hold the second overall pick. However, Daniels has denied these rumors, stating that he will be happy to play for any team that selects him.
Arizona State has agreed to disassociate with Regina Jackson, the mother of former quarterback Jayden Daniels, for five years after alleged recruiting violations. Daniels himself is projected as a top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and won the Heisman Trophy at LSU in 2022. Former head coach Herm Edwards has also received a five-year show-cause penalty for his role in the violations, which occurred during the COVID-19 dead period. The NCAA has determined that Edwards extensively participated in impermissible recruiting meetings with prospects, resulting in the vacating of nine of ASU’s 2021-22 wins. The investigation also led to show-cause penalties for six former staffers and current Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, whose case will be heard separately.
