03/06/23 - Haaziq Daniels, rSr/2023, Air Force + More +

Haaziq Daniels' application for a graduate school slot from the Air Force Academy was denied, an academy official confirmed, meaning the quarterback will not be able to prolong his career elsewhere as a transfer. Daniels will graduate in May and serve next year at the prep school on the grounds of the academy, where he will assist with the football team. A three-year starter and two-time bowl game MVP, Daniels entered the transfer portal this past December in hopes of playing as a grad transfer.

Former quarter Isaiah Sanders served as the trailblazer for that path, finishing his playing career with Stanford after graduating from Air Force. But the first step to that is being selected for one of the academy's competitive graduate school spots, and that's where Daniels' plan was thwarted. He will join a handful of teammates - offensive lineman Isaac Cochran and fullback Brad Roberts among them - in working out before scouts at Air Force's pro day in the middle of March. - Colorado Springs Gazette

Haaziq Daniels had a short scoring run and threw a touchdown pass in Air Force's 30-15 victory over Baylor on Thursday night in cold conditions in the Armed Forces Bowl. The game kicked off with a temperature of 13 degrees and a wind chill of minus 4 at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the home of TCU, Baylor's Big 12 rival. Baylor officials announced it was the coldest kickoff temperature in the history of the program based about 100 miles south of Dallas-Fort Worth in Waco. Daniels had a 2-yard touchdown run and a 15-yard scored pass out of Air Force's run-oriented triple-option offense. Brad Roberts rushed for two touchdowns, and Matthew Dapore had a 37-yard field goal for the Falcons (10-3). Roberts, a senior, ran for 116 yards, his school-record 20th career game with triple-digit rushing yardage.

Blake Shapen threw touchdown passes of 8 yards to Hal Presley in the second quarter and 14 yards to Gavin Holmes in the closing minutes for Baylor (6-7). With Air Force last in the FBS averaging 67.8 passing yards and 6.7 passes per game, Daniels was 4 for 7 for 103 yards and his fourth touchdown pass of the season to Caleb Rillos. He set up his touchdown run with a 68-yard first-down pass to Amari Terry thrown deep down the left sideline. Air Force, best in the FBS averaging 330.9 rushing yards during the season, ran 67 times for 276 yards. Baylor, averaging 429.2 total yards during the season, gained a season-low 230 yards. The Bears were 0 for 11 on third down, 3 for 6 on fourth down. - Air Force/AP College Football

2022 WALTER CAMP SECOND TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: OL Isaac Cochran, Air Force,...Cochran is the first Air Force offensive player to earn first or second team All-America honors on one of the major teams since Dave Schreck was named second-team All-American by Associated Press in 1982. He is one of just four offensive linemen to earn first or second team All-America honors in program history. Cochran was a first-team all-Mountain West selection this season, as well as earning Sporting News Midseason All-America team honors. Cochran began his career at Air Force as a walk-on. Air Force is a non-scholarship school, but Cochran recruited himself to the program. He anchors the offensive line, which has paved the way for the Falcons to lead the nation in rushing with a 330.9 average. Air Force has allowed 1.0 sacks per game which leads the MW and ranks 11th nationally. The Falcons lead the nation time of possession with a 36:16 mark. - Air Force Football
