LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels continued to collect postseason awards when additional honors were handed out Friday night.

Daniels, named The Associated Press player of the year on Thursday, won the Walter Camp national player of the year award as well as the Davey O’Brien Award as the top quarterback in college football.

Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. won the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s best all-around player, while Payton Wilson of NC State won the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player as well as the Dick Butkus Award as top linebacker.

Daniels, a San Bernardino, California, native who transferred to LSU from Arizona State in 2022, led the nation in total offense this season with 4,946 yards in 12 games (412.2 yards per game). He passed for 3,812 yards, third nationally, and his 40 touchdown passes tied him for first with Oregon QB Bo Nix, who played in one more game than Daniels.
