Verbally committed: May 13, 2014

Notes: Army All-American... was once committed to Washington... sidelined part of his junior season after knee surgery.

Daniel on signing with USC:

"I started to realize how big of a program I was entering -- the opportunity, alumni. I honestly feel I can be a big part of that team. We're off probation and we're going to rise back to the top. I felt it would be a cool story to tell once we're back on top. I have a really good relationship with the coaches. The only one I knew was Coach Sark. One of my original choices was Washington. I just liked the whole offense and the kind of coach he was."
