Ashton Daniels took his first reps inside Doak Campbell Stadium during Florida State football's scrimmage on Tuesday, Aug. 4, and the Seminoles' coaching staff liked what the fifth-year put on tape.
Both head coach Mike Norvell and offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr were complimentary of Daniels' growth from spring practice to preseason. The duo said the transfer signal-caller made some big throws in timely situations during the scrimmage.
"He was completely locked in. We had some big third-down situations and him just being comfortable in the pocket, going through his progressions and putting the ball where it needed to be," Harris said in a press conference a day after the scrimmage.
"There were times when our defense gave us certain looks, and he had to slow things down to get us the right play. And he did that flawlessly."
The pre-snap reads and adjustments are an area both Harris and Norvell noted, and it's a positive for Daniels. Turnovers have been an issue for him in his career, with 22 interceptions and 16 fumbles, so if he's recognizing what the defense is throwing at him quicker, that could keep turnover numbers down and get the ball in the hands of FSU's playmakers.
