Infielder who is a scrappy and unselfish player...is 2-for-18 (.111) with four runs scored and two RBIs in 33 games off the bench in two seasons...co-captain in 2005. LEGGETT COMMENTS: "Daniel is what this program is all about. He came into our program as not a tremendously-heralded player, but has worked extremely hard. He has a huge heart, along with great mental and physical toughness. He's one of the best practice players I've ever had, and he's earned the respect of his teammates, who voted him as one of the captains this year. He had a great fall, and he is right in the middle of the action in terms of getting a lot of playing time at second base. He knows his role and he knows what he has to do to help the team be successful. He's a player you can't help but root for." 2004: Hit .154 (2-for-13) with four runs scored, two RBIs, and a stolen base in 20 games off the bench...one of his hits came with the bases loaded, as he was 1-for-1 in that situation...had 15 assists and five putouts...as a pinch-runner, he stole home on a double steal against Coastal Carolina on Mar. 16...came off the bench and executed a squeeze bunt against Elon on Mar. 23...went 1-for-2 with two runs scored off the bench against College of Charleston on May 12...played for Florence in the Coastal Plain League in the summer, where he hit .162 with two homers and a .966 fielding percentage in 33 games (30 starts). 2003: Came off the bench in 13 games and was hitless in five at-bats...had four assists and did not commit an error...played for Spartanburg in the Coastal Plain League in the summer. 2002: Red-shirted.
