Steven M. Sipple: Grad transfer Daniels heeded father's wisdom, and Blackshirts benefiting

Darrion Daniels says his father taught him at a young age to do what he's supposed to do in life, no matter who's watching.

Nebraska football coach Scott Frost would tell you the youngster apparently heeded dad's wisdom.

"Darrion’s making plays on the field, but that’s not the most impressive part of Darrion," Frost said Wednesday of the graduate transfer from Oklahoma State. "It would be really hard for someone to change teams, come into a new college program and come in and be a leader immediately, but that’s what he’s done. He’s brought a spark to that D-line (and) I think a sense of accountability to the D-line and to the whole defense.
