Coach Burton says: “A guy like Daniel Halverson, being a local guy, that has that physical presence, how sharp he is, his ball skills, his ability to run... and he’ll walk in as probably the biggest linebacker we have... and he is a leader. I’m not sure we have recruited a Daniel Halverson type of guy out of high school. Physically, he is extremely gifted and we expect him to push to play as a true freshman.”
