Daniels is a spectacular athlete who is already 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds. He was a big-time target for A&M and the school threw plenty at his recruiting in order to get his pledge ahead of the likes of Clemson, Oklahoma, and LSU. One of the biggest assets around Daniels’ game is his versatility. Schools are moving more and more towards back seven hybrid players who can slot in at linebacker/safety/corner depending on the play call. Daniels has the athleticism and the smarts to cover these positions, especially if he bulks up at the next level.

In the video below you can see how impactful of a defensive player Daniels is. His one-handed interception return for a touchdown on the first play instantly validates the recruiting effort put in by A&M as he glides into position to make the pick before returning it to the house. The next play shows both his reading of the game and ball skills as he basically blitz intercepts a bubble screen for another defensive touchdown. His run support game is also on point and overall Daniels is an effortless player that will make Texas A&M better over the course of his education there.
