Miami football's CJ Daniels might've just made the catch of the year in the Hurricanes' Week 1 game vs. Notre Dame.
With 18 seconds left before halftime, Daniels climbed the ladder and hauled in a high pass from Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck for a touchdown to give Miami a 14-7 lead over the Fighting Irish on Sunday, Aug. 31. But it wasn't just any catch, as Daniels rose for a one-handed grab while avoiding two Notre Dame defensive backs.
The first-year transfer from LSU finished the first half with three receptions for 34 yards and the score. The sixth-year receiver spent the first four seasons of his career at Liberty before transferring to LSU, and then Miami. He received two extra seasons due to COVID-19 in 2020 and redshirting in 2022.

Miami's passing offense hasn't missed a beat despite having to replace Cam Ward, who went No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Beck completed 13 of 20 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns in the first half against Notre Dame, looking healthy after suffering a season-ending shoulder surgery for Georgia in the SEC championship game last season.
Daniels had 42 receptions for 480 yards with no touchdowns last season at LSU, but is already proving to be a key contributor for the Hurricanes.
Here's how social media is reacting to Daniels' highlight catch.
