promising WSU safety whose career was derailed by a neck injury
LeAndre Daniels was a high-upside Washington State safety who entered the program as a 6-foot-2, 206-pound redshirt sophomore with strong secondary traits and a notable two-way high school résumé, but his playing career was cut short by a neck injury in 2010, which ended his time on the field. The key takeaway: this is a toughness-and-upside story, not a current-production one—his appeal was as a physical, versatile defensive back, but any team evaluation today has to weigh the serious injury history and the fact that he was medically retired.
