Coaches Comments: Dainn is a fierce competitor – he loves competition and works hard to be the best he can be every day… He loves the weight room and has been an integral part of our defense since his freshman year… Last year he transitioned into an MLB for us and thrived in that position… He has a high motor and plays the game at full speed… He is a versatile player for our offense (RB-TE-WR) as well as contributing on all special teams… I am proud of his current accomplishments and anxious to see how well he does in his senior season leading our team. He is a strong student-athlete with a high GPA.
