Recent Commitment: Utah State

McDaniel is one of the top tight ends across the western region and had a breakout Junior year that set him up with FBS opportunities before committing to the Aggies. He is a physical and fluid player from the position with a huge catch radius and strong hands in traffic and can play at multiple spots offensively and is a big time get for Utah State as he held national offers.

I’m excited to announce my commitment to @USUFootball! I’m thankful for everyone who has recruited me throughout this process! Go Aggies!@AliiNiumatalolo @CoachBroncoM @Oakley_Hussey @BrandonHuffman @IdahoRecruitHub @bergermi_ pic.twitter.com/uO1lLZwaC6
