Purdue freshman DB Raderrion Daniels brings ball-hawking upside — but a knee injury has stalled the rollout
In the 2026 season, Raderrion Daniels enters Purdue as a true freshman defensive back with real playmaking pedigree: the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Mississippi native was a three-star recruit, a defensive captain, and posted 106 career tackles with 11 interceptions, 34 pass breakups and five forced fumbles in high school[1][2]. The catch? He was reported in August 2026 to likely miss the season with a knee injury, so the fit is more long-term upside than immediate help[1].
