Carson Daniel is Catawba’s high-IQ two-way guard with elite playmaking upside
In the 2025-26 season, Carson Daniel emerged as one of Catawba’s engine-room guards, averaging 7.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and a team-best 154 assists while also finishing with 64 steals, seventh in program history for a single season. He’s valuable because he impacts games beyond scoring: quick hands, steady decision-making, and the kind of pace-setting guard play coaches love. His 2026 postseason line vs. Columbus State — five assists, three steals, and a three-pointer — reinforced that he brings energy, defense, and connective tissue. Best fit? A team that wants a poised, disruptive lead guard who makes teammates better.
