UAlbany's Historic Dual-Threat CB-Hurdler from 2008 Glory Days
Daniel Avery burst onto the scene as a redshirt freshman CB for the Albany Great Danes in 2008, earning his first varsity letter with appearances in all 12 games while showcasing elite athleticism by clocking a program-record 13.96s in the 110m hurdles—earning IC4A and NCAA East quals. His rare football-track crossover speed and defensive instincts made him a 'defensive star of 2009,' highlighting blistering recovery speed and ball skills ideal for man coverage. No recent data post-2009 suggests he's likely graduated, but his versatility screams NFL-practice squad potential for teams needing agile, multi-sport DBs.
