Southern Miss defensive back MJ Daniels had a lot more living to do on this Earth, but his life was tragically cut short as the result of an off-campus shooting.
Daniels logged most of his snaps as a cornerback for the team in 2023, but he was expected to slide over to safety and serve as a critical figure in the team’s 2024 secondary.
Coming out of high school, MJ Daniels originally flipped his commitment from Mississippi State to Ole Miss on National Signing Day in 2020. He would enter the transfer portal following the 2022 season.
