Ashton Daniels Blasts On3 Top-10 Snub After 612 Yards vs Ranked Teams

Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels said at ACC Media Days that he was unhappy to be left out of On3’s top-10 ACC quarterback rankings for 2026.
612 passing yards and 3 touchdowns against Vanderbilt and Alabama in 2025 underpin his case, along with more than 700 career pass attempts.
His résumé still has clear weak spots: Daniels owns a 24-22 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has never averaged more than 7 yards per attempt in a season.
Florida State’s thin margin for doubt adds to the scrutiny, with Daniels arriving after the Seminoles went 7-17 over the last two seasons under Mike Norvell.
An 8-win season in Tallahassee would likely change that perception, turning the preseason snub into bulletin-board material rather than a verdict.
