Same school as Hendrix and Watkins

 

[STLDomer]

Literally almost no info out there about this guy, looks like OU and ND are his first two offers. Proof that college coaching staffs DGAF about what recruiting sites think. Guessing Coach Johnson told the ND and OU staffs to take a look at Daniels and they were impressed.

 

[BeauBenken]

Recruit ALL the Bishop Dunne kids!

Would like to see more athleticism. Hoping he has made strides since his highlights.

 

[NDPhilly]

Seems to get off the ball well, but after that yeah I'd like to see more athleticism.

 

[Ironman8]

He sure can hold the point of attack.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

I like the offer. ND really wants Nick Watkins but I dont think its an offer to entice him that much. Darrion has a lot of potential bc of his strength and size, but he also isnt in the same league as a Jozie Milton. It will be interesting to see Darrions JR and SR film.

Haha, that would be sweet indeed. I absolutely love his tape. He hits like a truck. Love it.

OSU offered


Glad we got in early. Pipeline it.

I'd be willing to hold a scholarship for Hendrix if it would bring this guy into the fold.

 

[md_bennett]

I'd be willing to hold one for Hendrix anyway. I love what I see of him on tape. If it brings Daniels in too then we just pulled off a hat trick.

 

[yankeeND]

Love that we have Watkins in the fold already to help with them both! Can never have enough d-line talent!

 

[Buster Bluth]

So few scholarships for so many capable players. It sucks not being in the SEC.

- High interest in ND
- Talks to Watkins a lot
- Will visit
- Likes how you room with regular college students
- Early playing time isn't a factor

Hardly ever see that much positive...

Best bet at an elite DT. Excited about the work being done in Texas.

Darrion would definitely be a quality add but he's not an elite DT. He's a good to very good prospect but elite is a different category. Elite to me implies instant impact regardless of depth at position.

Agree. Looks pretty small/soft in the pic above compared to the "elite" guys at DT. Some time in the weight room will do him good. He's still growing so I'm sure the sky is the limit. I do believe he could be elite with the right coaching and weight training, but has a ways to go.
