Auburn adds a second QB from portal by landing Ashton Daniels from Stanford
The Auburn Tigers have picked up a second transfer quarterback, with the addition of two-year Stanford starter Ashton DanielsDECEMBER 16 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands with Tigers Daniels will transfer to Auburn, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.
Impact Daniels is coming off a rough year for Stanford, as he tossed for 1,700 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while completing 62.7 percent of his passes. He did add an element of mobility, rushing for 671 yards and three scores as well. Daniels figures to compete with Jackson Arnold, who also just transferred to Auburn from Oklahoma, for the starting quarterback gig.

Will look for new program Daniels has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.
Impact Daniels will look for a fresh start at a new program after three seasons with Stanford. The junior quarterback completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,700 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while carrying the ball 148 times for 671 yards and three scores across 11 appearances this year.

Impact Daniels gave the ball away three times, and despite his respectable yardage output both by air and ground, the turnovers were killers in a narrow loss to the rival San Jose State Spartans. Sitting at 3-9 after a disappointing season, Stanford will miss a bowl game and Daniels' next chance to contribute will come in 2025. The quarterback offered some juice as a dual-threat option in 2024, but threw more interceptions than touchdowns.
DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Fails to score in loss Daniels was 14-for-26 passing for 139 yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus California. He also had 21 rushes for 63 yards.
Impact Daniels was solid as a quarterback in the narrow defeat to California, but couldn't find the end zone through the air for the second time in two weeks. Daniels has done enough to hold down the starting job in Palo Alto for now, but he's not a great option fantasy-wise heading into Week 14 against San Jose State.
NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Bounce-back showing in win Daniels was 22-for-33 passing for 298 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 38-35 victory over Louisville. He also had 22 rushes for 34 yards.
Impact Daniels had his best game of the season in an upset win over Louisville. His three touchdowns and 298 yards were both season-highs. The junior remains an efficient passer as well, completing 66.7 percent of his throws against the Cardinals. This was much-needed performance for a floundering quarterback and program. Daniels will look to keep it up next week against California.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Benched vs. NC State Daniels completed 6 of 8 passes for 70 yards during Saturday's 59-28 defeat to North Carolina State. He also had 11 rushes for 129 yards with two touchdowns.
Impact Daniels started the game but was ultimately replaced by Justin Lamson. Stanford's quarterback room is a hot mess right now. Both gunslingers scored twice, but neither looked particularly good doing it. Daniels at least provides the more dynamic element as a runner, as evidenced by his 129 yards and two scores in that department. That should allow him to keep the slight edge over Lamson, but it's awfully close in Palo Alto.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles again Daniels was 24-for-31 passing for 214 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 27-24 defeat versus Wake Forest. He also had 11 rushes for 54 yards.
Impact Daniels started against Wake Forest despite getting benched the week prior, but the quarterback didn't exactly redeem himself. He turned the ball over twice and while he kept the Cardinal close, it ultimately wasn't enough to beat a struggling Wake Forest team. If he can hang onto the starting gig, he'll look to bounce back next week against NC State.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles before getting pulled Daniels completed 2 of 5 passes for 20 yards during Saturday's 40-10 loss versus Southern Methodist.
Impact Daniels started the game for Stanford, but was removed after a handful of fruitless drives to open the game and replaced with Elijah Brown. If there's a silver lining for Daniels, it's that Brown didn't fare much better, and was arguably a net negative against SMU. This quarterback situation in Palo Alto is nearing time to panic, as no matter who takes snaps for the Cardinal, it simply can't get steady play from its signal caller. It remains to be seen if Daniels will be the starter moving forward.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Abysmal in blowout loss Daniels completed 8 of 13 passes for 74 yards during Saturday's 49-7 defeat to Notre Dame. He also had 14 rushes for 42 yards.
Impact Daniels was completely shut down in Stanford's shellacking at the hands of Notre Dame. The game wasn't competitive, and the quarterback's stat-line reflects that. The controversy between Daniels and Justin Lamson rages on in Palo Alto, although it's hard to take away much from such a one-sided blowout loss. Daniels will look to maintain his loose grip on the starting gig this week against SMU.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Available but not starting Daniels will be available for Stanford but won't start, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.
Impact Daniels has been the starter for the Cardinal all season, so it appears the quarterback may be getting benched in favor of Justin Lamson, who is getting the start. Daniels has thrown for 633 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions this season.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles mightily vs. Tigers Daniels completed 9 of 19 passes for 71 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 40-14 loss against Clemson. He also had 11 rushes for 87 yards.
Impact Daniels played poorly for the second straight week, and he's now thrown five interceptions over his past two games. He couldn't even surpass the 100-yard mark, and was ultimately replaced by Justin Lamson late in the game. It was a forgettable performance for the gunslinger, but it did come against a good Clemson team. He'll look to bounce back next week against Virginia Tech.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Two picks in narrow win Daniels was 23-for-38 passing for 178 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Friday's 26-24 victory over Syracuse. He also had 13 rushes for 45 yards.
Impact Daniels turned the ball over twice and wasn't all that efficient with just 4.7 yards-per-attempt, but the quarterback did just enough to lead the Cardinal to a win. His rushing output certainly helped. The quarterback hasn't lit up the stat sheet, but The Cardinal have now stacked back-to-back victories.
SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Smooth performance in blowout Daniels completed 19 of 23 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-7 win against Cal Poly. He also had nine rushes for 31 yards.
Impact Daniels did all that was asked of him in Stanford's dismantling of Cal Poly. It was a good bounce-back performance after a rough debut against TCU, albeit against FCS competition. Now, Daniels will look to even out his performances with Syracuse on the horizon in Week 4 after an early-season bye.

Rocky showing vs. TCU Daniels completed 17 of 35 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Friday's 34-27 defeat against TCU. He also had 17 rushes for 89 yards.
Impact Daniels wan't all that great against the Horned Frogs. He completed less than half of his passes and threw for just 163 yards while also turning the ball over. His 89 yards rushing helped salvage his performance somewhat, but overall it wasn't promising for the quarterback in Week 1. He'll look to bounce back against a much weaker foe in Cal Poly next Saturday.

Listed as co-starter Daniels is listed as a co-starter for Friday's opener versus TCU.
Impact Daniels, along with Justin Larson and Elijah Brown, is listed as a co-starter for Week 1. Daniels started the majority of last season, completing nearly 59 percent of his passes for 2,247 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He added 292 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Given he started over Lamson and outplayed him, Daniels seemingly has the edge but there will likely not be a clear answer until shortly before kickoff Friday.

Struggles in blowout loss Daniels was 15-for-25 passing for 152 yards and one interception during Saturday's 56-23 loss to Notre Dame. He also had 11 rushes for one yard.
Impact The Irish pummeled Stanford Saturday, and the team shuffled through quarterbacks to find some kind of a spark. Justin Lamson and Ari Patu made appearances in lieu of Daniels, who was still the best option in a bad scenario for the Cardinal. Daniels is still the odds-on favorite to start in 2024, as the sophomore had flashes of efficiency throughout the season.

Solid line in loss Daniels completed 18 of 35 passes for 188 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-15 loss against California. He also had 12 rushes for 67 yards.
Impact Although Daniels was questionable with a hand issue, he took the field and shoed no ill effects from the injury. Daniels had a mistake-free day end flashed duel-threat capability, but the Cardinal defense had a difficult time containing Jadyn Ott and the resurgent Cal offense.
