Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels arrived in Texas this July with a unique distinction: It was his fourth time representing his school at Big 12 media day. It\u2019s not exactly Archie Griffin\u2019s two Heismans, but the Kansas star figures in the NIL and transfer portal era, no one will duplicate his feat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to tell Commish (Brett Yormark), \u2018You might as well go ahead and put a banner: JD up here four years in a row, baby!\u2019\u201d Daniels said, laughing.<\/p>\n

It was the type of levity and self-awareness that comes from a player who has experienced just about everything a quarterback can have thrown at him.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Daniels wore a silver suit with a red tie and an Apple Watch pendant around his neck that displayed his 2022 highlights on a loop. As remarkable as some of the footage was, or as glitzy as the jewelry looked, the most impressive thing was his words. He told a story back then that wasn\u2019t just about how he\u2019d arrived at this moment. He also gave one of the best lessons in parenting I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a sportswriter twice as long as I\u2019ve been a parent. I\u2019ve coached my son in football<\/a> for the last five years. Youth sports can be amazing. It can also be mind-numbing, frustrating and baffling, especially if your kid loves it even more than you do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s human nature for kids to compare themselves to others their age. Their parents often are guilty of doing it too (I am guilty of this). Every practice can feel like a defining moment (guilty of this, too). Only it isn\u2019t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the more I learned about Daniels, the more insightful and applicable his story became to me \u2014 and hopefully will be for other parents and young athletes as well.<\/p>\n

Daniels\u2019 career is a testament to playing the long game, something that gets increasingly harder to do in this era of instant gratification and online rankings. Here are my four favorite lessons I learned from his story.<\/p>\n

Lean on your support system early<\/h2>\n

Daniels was part of one of the most stacked quarterback recruiting classes to come out of one area in recent memory.<\/p>\n

He graduated in 2020 from Lawndale High in Southern California, not far from where the country\u2019s top two overall recruits, Bryce Young and D.J. Uiagalelei, also played. Fellow five-star QB C.J. Stroud was from the area. Daniels was ranked behind 22 other quarterbacks in the state of California alone and didn\u2019t even have a recruiting profile, much less any stars, until just before his senior season.<\/p>\n

How exactly did a young Jalon stay grounded and not get discouraged?<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I did have that perspective even back then,\u201d he said. \u201cMy freshman year humbled me for real. Going into freshman year, I did think I was the best. That humbled me so much because then I saw D.J., balling (as a) freshman. I\u2019m barely playing as a freshman. He got offers; I don\u2019t. Bryce Young\u2019s ballin\u2019 on varsity as a freshman. He got offers; I don\u2019t. What am I doing wrong? I\u2019m not in the same situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniels credits his mom, Star, for instilling in him a drive and determination to stay on the path.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even imagine how it is for a parent seeing your child doing as much as they can, as much as they are willing to do to try and get to where they\u2019re going, and things aren\u2019t happening,\u201d he said. \u201cI just have to give props to my mom and stepdad for being able to keep me grounded. Now that I\u2019m looking back on it, it\u2019s so easy to get hard on yourself about stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Find the positive in your situation<\/h2>\n

The low point for Jalon and Star came during his sophomore year of high school. His coach told him, depending on how this practice goes, that he\u2019d either get to move up to the junior varsity team or stay on the freshman squad for another year.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, Daniels got back into his mom\u2019s car and slunk into the seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is making me do freshman (football) again,\u201d he told his mom.<\/p>\n

Star\u2019s heart broke for her son. \u201cYou could tell that he wanted to cry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t about to start the 20-minute drive home until his perspective changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Jalon is in his head about something, we stop and we deal with it right then and there,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen he\u2019s having those moments, I need Jalon to see my face. I need him to see where I am because if I am passionate about what it is that you want, I need you not to lose that passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

She made sure he understood the situation as she saw it. He was still small and hadn\u2019t yet hit his growth spurt. Those kids on JV were big. Maybe the coaches didn\u2019t think he was physically ready to move up. Also, she told him, perhaps the coaches thought he would be able to motivate the new kids who might be scared coming onto the freshman team, since Jalon was a good leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what it\u2019s like to play in these Thursday games,\u201d she said. \u201cUse that to your advantage!\u201d<\/p>\n

After 15 minutes, Star felt Jalon had received the message, and she was ready to pull out of that parking lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy then, all that negativity and doubt was gone,\u201d she said. \u201cBy the time we got home, he was putting his plan into action, thinking about what he can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of that season, Daniels not only moved up to JV but was one of a handful of sophomores who joined the varsity team at Narbonne High when it played for the state title. He even got into the game for a snap.<\/p>\n

Star told him, \u201cDo you see what patience and perseverance can get you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Comparison is the thief of joy<\/h2>\n

As a sophomore, Daniels was the third-string quarterback behind two talented athletes: Jaylen Henderson, who is now at West Virginia, and Kyle Williams, who now plays for the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just his parents\u2019 support that helped drive him. Daniels\u2019 teammates also saw how well he played when he got the chance to start on the junior varsity team. Just keep doing what you\u2019re doing<\/em>, they encouraged. You\u2019re gonna be OK<\/em>, they kept telling him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018All right, bet! Keep playing,\u2019\u201d Daniels said. \u201cI made a whole lot of highlights with some guys \u2026 and then Jake Garcia transferred in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia, now at Michigan after going from Miami (Fla.) to Missouri to East Carolina, was another Southern California five-star QB at the time. Daniels decided to bet on himself and transferred to Lawndale for his junior year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re good enough to play at that next level, somebody\u2019s going to find you and you\u2019ll be able to put your talents at that next level,\u201d Daniel said. \u201cSo it was no longer just about trying to compare myself to Bryce, D.J. or C.J. because at the end of the day, comparison is a thief of joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The internet is also a thief of joy, as Daniel was reminded of before his junior season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI type in J-A-L-O-N Daniels in Google,\u201d Daniels remembered, \u201cand Jayden Daniels (another blue-chip QB from Southern California who was a year ahead) came up, and I thought, \u2018Well, I will be able to fill up this page one day.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018You never lose. You either win or you learn\u2019<\/h2>\n

Daniels received only a few offers from mid-major programs and committed to Middle Tennessee the week before his senior season. It wasn\u2019t until the very end of that season that he finally received that one elusive Power 4 offer. Daniels bet on himself again and flipped to the Kansas Jayhawks.<\/p>\n

Daniels started six games as a 17-year-old freshman in 2020 under coach Les Miles. The following offseason, Miles was fired and replaced by Lance Leipold, who took over a dreadful program that hadn\u2019t won more than three games in a season in a dozen years.<\/p>\n

The Jayhawks started 1-8 in 2021, but then Daniels led them to a stunning 57-56 upset of Texas, snapping the program\u2019s 56-game road losing streak. He threw four touchdowns and no picks.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Daniels sparked Kansas to its first bowl game in 14 years and was a second-team Academic All-American. The 2023 season, though, brought more mental challenges. He played in only three games because of a back injury. In 2024, Daniels was healthy, but he and the offense struggled. Daniels threw 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The team lost five of its six games decided by six points or less.<\/p>\n

It led to some honest conversations with Leipold.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was right,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cEarly on, I was pressing. I was trying to make up for lost time. I was trying to do as much as I can to be able to get the guys around me to the NFL instead of focusing on winning the game right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leipold said Daniels is the same person he was four years ago when Leipold first arrived in Lawrence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s as positive a teammate as you could ask for,\u201d Leipold said. \u201cHe\u2019s just one hell of a kid. He\u2019s humble. He\u2019s hardworking. He doesn\u2019t make excuses. He walks around with the same smile on his face. And he\u2019s never once made an excuse or deflected anything that hasn\u2019t gone his way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, Daniels credits his mom for that mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of life is a mental game,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you lose, it hurts you mentally more than anything else, but one thing my mom told me is, \u2018Son, you never lose. You either win or learn.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p>\n

When I asked what advice he\u2019d give his younger self or any other kid, Daniels started to answer before I finished the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m telling my 13-year-old self to stay the course,\u201d he said. \u201cStay patient. Everything\u2019s going to happen the way it\u2019s supposed to. Make sure you believe in God because there\u2019s going to be tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be trials and tribulations that try to knock you off your pivot and try to make you feel less confident than you already are. Stay confident because you\u2019re in that situation for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
