After the ineffective play of quarterbacks Besean McCray and Harold Blood, McDaniel was thrown into the fray and the Southern offense immediately came to life. The unit would outscore JSU 24-17 in the second half with McDaniel in the game, drawing to as close as 36-24 before the Tigers ultimately put the game away.
The signal caller threw for 220 yards and a touchdown while also running for 172 yards and two touchdowns.
The 2023 HBCU Legacy Bowl will take place at 3 p.m. Saturday, February 25, 2023.
McDaniel joins fellow Jaguars Jason Dumas and Jordan Lewis at the bowl game.
