Sun Devil Source, which first reported the news Thursday, said Daniels informed multiple coaches on the ASU staff of his decision, which sparked more negative attention on the program.
“The perception of Arizona State football is that it’s an absolute mess,” said Stewart Mandel, a reporter with The Athletic. “The star quarterback transferring, especially in the late stages after the transfer portal had mostly died down, just adds to that perception.”
A video circulating on social media showed several of Daniels’ teammates clearing out his locker.
