Darrion Daniels - Grad Transfer

[HuskerLove]

I just read that Darrion Daniels, older brother of Damion Daniels, will be grad transferring to play at Nebraska this year.

He’s a DT from Oklahoma State.

 

[Anon1727835823]

How have his stats been there?

 

[jeans15]

I will always take dlineman.

 

[HuskerLove]

Apparently he’s 6’3”, 320lbs, and was a 4* out of high school.

Started as a junior, but only played a few games this past year due to a hand injury.

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

Big if true.

Interesting. Hope it pans out on the field next fall!

Coaches must be expecting a lot of attrition this offseason. Sounds like we could sign 30 recruits plus add a few more transfers. Will be interesting to see how we make room for that many new guys.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

This sounds pretty good

Will he be here next semester and for spring ball? I haven't seen that mentioned in any of the articles...

 

[NECoach31BB]

Experience at a position of need, good. A guy who has been in the trenches, even the Big12 trenches is a good thing. Finishing his career with his “little” brother sounds great. Hope he has a great season and can bring toughness, talent and teaching to the Defensive Line group.

I would think graduating in December would mean he will be here for spring. At least that is how I'm reading it.

Is his weight 300 or 320? Sean C says 300,but there site says he is 320.

3 numbers I never automatically believe.

#1 a self reported 40 time

#2 a basketball player’s height

#3. A football lineman’s weight.

He’s big and has D1 experience. Cool with me.

 

[HuskerIsNumberOne]

If he can get to the quarterback, it's what this defense needs.

 

[barney44]

If he can get to the quarterback, it's what this defense needs.

Or absord some blockers which allows others to get to the QB, I’m fine with that.

 

[HominidHusker]

Daniels is a big time pickup. Two sets of brothers on DL next year. The Doube D’s.. Daniels/Davis is gonna bring it.

Is Tony Fair gonna qualify?

unrelated public reminder: I hope we keep Bland.

Is a talent, and if healthy, could be the best DL on the team next year. Played as a true frosh, but has had bad luck on the injury front. Missed the final three games last season and had a season ending finger injury this year. Nice pickup.

Played in 40 games, started 16, plus Gundy was upset at him leaving= I’m happy

Probably depends on whether he is weighed before or after lunch. Laughing

Nebraska just got better

Not sure but Sean thought he was a December grad.

 

[Headcard]

Having a guy like this in the middle and being able to keep Carlos at DE is huge.

NT: Daniels, Daniels, Fair
DE: Carlos, Thomas, Neal
DE: Kahlil, Stille, Rodgers

Always thought Neal would be a very good lineman for us but he has never bloomed in too that kind of player yet..

 

[Huskerwisdom]

Immediate benefit for next year. This is a big deal for us as he fills in at a spot of great need.

Having a real NT for this D makes everyone else better immediately

 

[9and4_rivals188421]

Check. Next, a similarly qualified OLB, WR

Or he might provide enough D-line depth to switch to the 4-3. I wonder if anyone here will suggest that to Chinander? :Cool:

 

[ZJSARENOTFREE]

That's a really good add, and a year of more strength and conditioning will only make that D-Line better. Sucks that Lovie was retained. Could have had a few more transfers.

Yes, please.

He might be listed at 400 on our roster.

 

[inWV]

Okie Lite runs a 4-3, so he isn't really a true NT. NU's personnel on the DL fits a 4-3 front better, but I doubt Chin will go to that front.

 

[chicolby]

For all those worried that Coach Frost doesn’t care about defense, I think you’re seeing a LOT of attention on stocking the cupboards with size on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[Spartanhusker]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PISTOLS FIRING!!!

I doubt Bland makes it here just because of academics.

 

[TennesseeHusker75]

He will graduate in December but not sure about the rest. I would assume he gets signed up for winter/spring classes.

He's running out of time.
