Chase Daniel (born October 7, 1986, in Southlake, Texas) is an American football quarterback. He is currently in his senior year at the University of Missouri, where he is starting at quarterback for the Missouri Tigers.

High school career

Daniel prepped under head coach Todd Dodge at newly famed Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas, where the team won a 5A Division II state title in 2004 and runner up in 2003. After playing his sophomore year at wide receiver, Daniel was a two-year starter at QB, leading his team to a 31-1 record in those years. Daniel completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 8,298 yards and 91 touchdowns and added 2,954 rushing yards and 39 scores. Southlake earned a No. 1 national ranking in 2004 after winning the 5A state championship, while Daniel won the 5A state Player of the Year. He was also named the EA Sports National Player of the Year.

Despite his high numbers, he was not recruited heavily by his preferred school, Texas, who believed him to be too small and a "system quarterback", preferring the more-stereotypically built Colt McCoy. This presented an opportunity for Missouri to woo him, and the resemblance of Dave Christensen' spread offense to the one he had run at Carroll, along with the chance to be part of a resurgent program, was reason enough for him to sign for the Tigers. Ironically, it was only after he had committed to Mizzou that Longhorn coach Mack Brown began to seriously look at him, but Daniel stuck to his verbal commitment.

College career

2006

In 2006, Daniel started all 13 games as Missouri earned a berth in the Brut Sun Bowl. He threw for 3,527 yards with a 63.5 percent completion rate and 28 touchdowns. Daniel also set a school record for passing touchdowns in a game, racking up five scores in the season opener against Murray State. This was good enough for a Second Team All-Big 12 selection while he also was named to the First Team All-Academic Big 12 Team. Daniel is also one of the 35 quarterbacks placed on the 2007 Manning Award watch list.[1] He was also a Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award Hesiman Trophy finalist, but lost to Sophomore Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators.

2007

In 2007, Daniel improved even more stunningly, throwing for 4,306 yards with a 68.2% completion rate and 33 touchdowns, with only 11 interceptions in 14 games. He also rushed for a net 253 yards and four touchdowns for a Total Offense of 37 touchdowns and 4,559 yards, almost 326 yards per game.

Chase Daniel takes a snap in the first quarter of the 2007 Mizzou vs. Nebraska football game.

On Jan. 1, 2008, Missouri wrapped up a school-best 12-2 season with a 38-7 win over Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. A week later, the Tigers were ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press' final poll - the highest final ranking in school history - and No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll. Daniel also announced he was returning for his senior season after putting his name in with the NFL College Advisory Committee to receive feedback for the NFL Draft.

On November 27, 2007, the Big 12 named Daniel the Offensive Player of the Year. Daniel is the first Missouri player to be named to that honor.[2]

On Dec. 5, 2007, Chase was invited by the Heisman Trophy Trust to go to New York City as one of four finalists. He eventually finished 4th in the Heisman Trophy voting with 425 points. He garnered 25 first-place votes, 84 second-place votes, and 182 third-place votes. He became only the third Tiger to ever finish in the top-10. His fourth-place showing marks the second-highest finish in Heisman voting by a Tiger player, with Paul Christman the only one to finish higher (third in 1939).

2008

In the 2008 preseason, Chase was named one of 26 candidates for the 2008 Unitas Award, given to the nation's best senior college football quarterback.[3] Daniel continued to break virtually all Mizzou passing records, and in a two-game span against SEMO and Nevada, Chase actually threw more touchdowns (7) than he did incomplete passes (6).
