Tragic Loss: Southern Miss Football Star MJ Daniels Fatally killed in Hattiesburg Apartment Complex”

Inside the Rebels is currently verifying reports indicating the tragic passing of former Ole Miss cornerback MJ Daniels, allegedly due to a shooting incident in Hattiesburg on Tuesday night. Having transferred to Southern Mississippi, Daniels succumbed to a gunshot wound, as per preliminary information. Reports suggest his body was discovered at a Hattiesburg apartment complex, although these details remain unconfirmed. The news of Daniels’ untimely demise has circulated widely across various social media platforms on Wednesday morning.

During his tenure at Southern Miss, Daniels emerged as a key player, sharing the team lead in interceptions last season with three, alongside four pass breakups. Anticipated to be a cornerstone for the Golden Eagles this upcoming fall, Daniels was widely regarded as a promising talent with potential NFL prospects.

Originally from George County (Miss.) High School, Daniels made headlines by switching his commitment from Mississippi State to Ole Miss on National Signing Day in 2020. Recognized as one of the state’s top athletes, he earned a spot on the Clarion Ledger’s Dandy Dozen team as a standout high school senior in 2020.

After garnering two letters at Ole Miss, Daniels opted to enter the transfer portal following the conclusion of the 2022 season.

Additional reports have suggested that the shooting incident occurred at a Wal-Mart parking lot in Lucedale.
