Reliable Mississippi State runner who flashed burst in 2024 before a quiet 2025
In the 2024 season, Johnnie Daniels was Mississippi State’s most productive version of himself, rushing for 540 yards and 4 touchdowns on 108 carries while also adding 76 receiving yards; in 2025, his role shrank to 44 yards on 9 carries before he entered the transfer portal after the season. The appeal is clear: compact build, tough between the tackles, enough burst to pop a chunk play, and experience as a multi-year SEC back. If you need a proven rotational runner with SEC mileage, he fits; if you need a high-volume bell cow, the production profile says otherwise.
