Colleton Prep Academy senior centerfielder Colton Daniels recently announced his decision to play baseball for East Georgia State College in Swainsboro, Georgia. The Bobcats, a member of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, participate in the Division I in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) in Region 17. Recruited as an outfielder, Daniels was a four-year varsity letterman for the War Hawks. In addition to baseball, he played basketball for Colleton Prep. He was a two-year varsity captain and was twice selected Region IV-AA All-Region. He was twice named Most Valuable Player for War Hawk Baseball. Daniels committed to East Georgia State in November 2021. “The school is in my hometown, so it just felt like the right decision going back,” said Daniels. “I had conversations with the coach for a while. He always told me I could come back and play for him. He texted me one day, and we made it official. My energy and love for the game will be helpful as I transition into being a collegiate athlete.” “I just want to thank everyone involved in helping me reach this point,” said Daniels. “I would not be here without them. I would especially like to acknowledge Pete Meadows, Griffin Baker, Collin Miller, and all the coaches on YouTube. I am happy to be going back home and I could not have asked for a better opportunity.” Daniels, a recent Distinguished Honor Graduate with a 4.94 GPA and ranked No. 4 in his class, is the son of Denise Daniels and Buck Daniels. He plans to pursue a career in education.
