FSU QB Ashton Daniels misses top 10 in ACC quarterback rankings

Summary

Florida State Seminoles quarterback Ashton Daniels has been omitted from the latest ACC quarterback rankings by On3 analyst Andy Staples. Daniels' inconsistent performance at Stanford and a turbulent season at Auburn contributed to his lack of recognition. Despite a solid rushing record, his passing game has raised concerns, particularly after throwing 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in a recent season. Coach Mike Norvell intends to utilize Daniels' dual-threat capability in the upcoming 2026 season, aiming to enhance his decision-making skills and capitalize on his athleticism.
