Hall of Fame
Opponents had a difficult time keeping pace with Dante Daniels.
At the time of his induction, no Monmouth College sprinter was ever faster in the outdoor 100- and 200-meter dashes than Daniels’ best times of 10.49 and 21.33.
That speed translated to the national stage, as Daniels ran legs on two All-American relays, including the outdoor runner-up 4x400 squad in 2007, helping Monmouth finish as the No. 3 team in the nation. At Midwest Conference meets, he won 14 titles and earned two Most Outstanding Performer honors.
In football, Daniels ran fast, hard and often. He holds the school record for average rushing yards per game (122.2) and carries in a season (271), while several other rushing records he established are ranked second, including 247 yards in a game and 1,557 yards in a season.
As a senior in 2006, Daniels was a first-team Academic All-American, an all-region selection and the MWC’s Offensive Player of the Year.
