Sophomore quarterback J.T. Daniels of Santa Ana Mater Dei has been selected the Gatorade state player of the year in football.
It’s quite an achievement for a sophomore, but Daniels had a season that even surpassed former Mater Dei greats Matt Barkley and Matt Leinart.
He passed for 4,849 yards and 67 touchdowns, leading the Monarchs to a 13-1 record. He completed 75% of his passes. He also maintained a 4.14 grade-point average.
