Kansas QB Jalon Daniels Roasted for TikTok Dance and ‘Oldest QB in CFB’ Claim

The video quickly drew widespread mockery across social media. Daniels is not the oldest quarterback in college football, as many signal-callers top that age. According to one response from Rico Rico on X, UConn’s Joe Fagnano, Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia, Akron’s Ben Finley, Miami (OH)’s Dequan Finn, and others are older at 22 to 24 years old. Even multiple quarterbacks aged 23 and 24 remained active last season.

Fans had fun with the combo of the dance and Daniels’ faux-faithful self-obsession. Comments ranged from gentle teasing to full-on meme production. One user quipped that Daniels might be the only starter fighting defenders and his own math.

Daniels has earned respect as a dual-threat quarterback, bouncing back from multiple injuries. But his TikTok moment serves as a reminder that when you claim college football’s age crown, you might need to run it through a quick fact-check first.

For Kansas, Daniels remains a leader on the field regardless. That said, this moment shows how the social era intersects with expectations. One wrong verb and one wild claim can land your season preview post in meme archives before the pads even go on.
