64 Days to Purdue Football: Johnny Daniels

Today's player is entering his fourth season in the program, but little impact on the defensive side of the ball has led to a position switch for him:

Chicago, Illinois (Foreman HS)

6'3", 301 pounds

Offensive Line

2016 Projection: Reserve on the offensive line

Daniels originally came to Purdue as a defensive tackle. He was one of the best players in the Chicago area with 82 tackles and five sacks as a senior in high school. It looked like he would be an impact player after being named Defensive Player of the Year for the Chicago city league in 2012.
