Record-Setting USC Kicker Who Delivered Under Pressure
Danelo was one of USC’s most reliable specialists, combining elite efficiency with real scoring value: in the 2006 season he made 15 of 16 field goals and led the Trojans with 89 points, after setting NCAA, Pac-10 and USC season records in 2005 with 83 extra points. His differentiator was consistency in a high-powered offense—he rarely missed, handled pressure in big moments, and even hit two field goals in USC’s 2007 Rose Bowl win. For a team, he projected as a dependable, low-drama points source with proven big-game poise.[2][7][12]
