Vitals: 6’2”, 250-pounds Position: Outside Linebacker/Defensive End High School/College: Tifton (Ga.) Tift County / University of Kentucky Recruitment: Kentucky landed McDaniel over offers from Ole Miss, Indiana, USF, UCF, South Carolina, East Carolina, and Troy among others.
This is a grown man. Sturdy and thick build that’s ready for combat. Has the length to play on the edge but he’s best physical attribute would be McDaniel’s over sturdiness throughout his frame.
Ability to bend and cut in space is good. Uses his hands away from his body to move blockers away from him with ease. Closes on ball carriers with a natural running motion. Good flexibility for a defensive end with such a compact and thick frame.
This is a player that will gladly run over an offensive guard just as well as juking to get around him. McDaniel has natural strength similar to a defensive tackle, and it will serve him well to thwart double teams and play against bigger offensive lineman in general. From a strength standpoint and his overall style of play, McDaniel is similar to ...
This is a young man that goes hard all the time. His attitude towards each play is run as fast as possible until the whistle blows. He constantly ran down players in high school that were 20 and 30 yards ahead of him because he hustled while the ball carrier attempted to maneuver through other defenders which allowed McDaniel to catch up with his e...
McDaniel’s ability to play in a three-point stance, stay low after the snap, engage an offensive tackle or guard, and then penetrate by way of his hands to move past the opposition is tremendous. He played in this role during his high school days, but was only doing it part of the time for Tift County High School. He could be asked to do it for UCF...
He’s used a two-hand swipe, dip and rip, as well as a bull rush among his moves. Well, at least that’s what he did coming out of high school. He’s certainly added to his repertoire while in Lexington, Ky. so this upcoming spring game for UCF will be interesting to witness what else McDaniel likes to utilize.
Most edge defenders are far better against the pass. One could defend the argument that McDaniel is in fact better as a run defender. His ability to bend, stay low, and then attack like a two-gap defensive end in a 3-4 defensive scheme while still playing outside linebacker is unique. Not many outside linebackers can honestly stand up a 320-pound o...
McDaniel brings the athleticism, power, hustle, and attitude to be a disruptive force along the outside edge of the UCF defense. He simply needs to find his niche to help the Knights. He’s too good of an athlete not to contribute this next fall, and UCF Football is fortunate to be bringing him into the program. For UCF coverage and recruiting infor...
