OK State NT Darrion Daniels To Grad Transfer To NU ( Older brother of Damion Daniels)

[Ellis Boyd Redding]

In looking through social media and comments from Oklahoma St fans' comments, one stuck out to me. "When healthy, he is an unstoppable run stuffer".

I didn't see one negative comment about his play or his character. Most every OSU fan comment says we are getting a good one.

Now that's a "D" line

First the Davis twins. Now the Daniels brothers. There’s a pun/nickname in there somewhere.

Looks like our "D" (lineman) Cup Runeth Over! Always a good thing! Dare I say, Double D?

Is that the recruit Robinson? Counting our chickens?
**Also, does this Daniels graduate in December so that he can be here for conditioning and spring ball or is he a May grad?

Counting them yes lol

If we can slide the Davis twins outside with Stille already out there, we may have something here defensively.

 

[HuskerFed]

Things looking up. can hardly wait for spring ball.

From what others have posted, it sounds like there is some concern about whether Tony Fair makes it on grades. I would say this provides some insurance but I think Darrion Daniels is likely much more than an insurance policy.

The B1G West is going to be very balanced next year. This might just tip the scales our way.

I'm not sure a DL grad transfer is going to tip any scales...except maybe in the locker room.

He looks like a good player with experience. If he can help tighten the run defense or prevent a third and long conversion or two, he might well be the difference between winning and losing in a game or two.

He doesn't have to be the second coming of Suh to potentially be a factor in a race where WI, IA, MN, NE, NW and Purdue all will come in to the season with reasonable hopes of winning the west and will be difficult to differentiate, at least on paper.

We have just had two threads discussing how we needed more help on the DLine. Both of which you posted in. Now we have it. if this guy can create a pass rush while drawing double teams. He may well tip the scales.

Let me add. 5 of our losses were by less than a TD. If our Dline gets a pass rush than that could easily make the difference in one score.

 

[Red Reign]

Agree on Daniels big get

Thanks!

There were a couple of posts on Fair. I interpreted them as whether he would make it but they may have been alluding to the January/May question. Still a huge deal to get Daniels. Even more so if Fair doesn't make it until May as he would miss winter conditioning and spring ball.

I don't think I had heard/read that about Bland. I was under the impression our biggest concern was a potential flip to FSU.

Thanks for the info!

Well, if he will allow us to move some people around so that we can actually put pressure on a QB for the first time in years, he will be a tremendous addition to a defense that has been pretty mediocre for way too long.

Great addition ... and, a very nice bridge to the 2020 recruiting class assuming HCSF can land Hutmacher who @Middle-aged_Ball_Coach and others have touted as an excellent NG prospect.

Ha...and it's barely just starting.

We all might have to take up some new hobbies.

 

[BubbaGene]

This is huge.

I felt we are thin/weak on the D-Line. This guy will definitely shore up a suspect D-Line come next season.
I am so grateful I threw out the question yesterday. Got a boat load back today !.
