Duke’s veteran-ballhawking safety and special-teams tone-setter
Matt Daniels is a high-motor Duke safety whose calling card is production and versatility: in his Duke career, he logged 324 tackles, 13.0 tackles for loss, four interceptions and seven forced fumbles, showing he can tackle, trigger downhill and create havoc. He stands out less as a pure coverage wizard and more as a physical, instinctive defender who plays with urgency and adds value on special teams. If you want a dependable, aggressive defender who raises the intensity of the unit, he fits the mold.
