MURFREESBORO - Safety has stepped into the Blue Raider starting lineup this season and provided good returns on his play so far.
The redshirt junior started his first three career games in Middle Tennessee's first three games. He currently ranks second on the team in tackles with 20, one less than his entire output from last season.
Though he has shown maturity in his hard work and constant drive to get better on the field, it is what Dale has overcome off the field that shows his true character.
His father, Frederick, passed away when Dale was 18 years old.
