Darrion Daniels, as many folks seemed to anticipate, has made a sizable impression during the early stages of Nebraska's spring football season.
A graduate transfer from Oklahoma State, the 6-foot-3, 320-pound Daniels obviously brings experience to the defense. He played in 41 games at OSU, recording a total of 9½ tackles for loss and a pair of sacks.
But Daniels brings more than just playing experience, says Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander.
"He's not afraid to speak his mind, and he does it in a proper manner," the coach said. "He's not trying to be the guy who comes in here and thinks, 'I'm going to run this team right away.
