"He told me the morning before he was going to come by and Coach Thigpen stopped by the school on Monday to watch my film and to watch two of my teammates as well, Marcus Marshall and James Smith-Williams," Daniel said. "He watched our film and he told my coach to have me to call him so I called him that night and he offered."
"I had been talking to him for about a month now on the phone and mostly on Facebook and Twitter. It was kind of a surprise. I know a few of my friends from around the area have Tennessee offers like Bryce Love and Sterling Johnson and they both said they loved it there so I will have to check it out," Daniel explained. "Bryce has told me about their brick-by-brick philosophy that coach (Butch) Jones is trying to establish and that he's trying to build the team back up to what it used to be."
"Definitely something I want to check out and find out more on what they're about and see what they are trying to build there and find out about their education and their football program," Daniel said. "I definitely want to head over there with a couple of friends that have an offer from them already."
"I though about setting up my initial commitment date on my birthday, July 29, but then I thought I might not have a decision by then so it might be later. But, I'm graduating early so I'll have to take my official visits early, too," Daniel said.
