Brandon Daniels was an American football quarterback, defensive back, kick returner and athlete that played for the Oklahoma Sooners from 1996-1999.... Daniels was a highly regarded defensive back at Ada Senior High School in Ada, Oklahoma. In the 1995 edition of Street & Smith's College Football, Daniels was considered the top prospect in Oklahoma. At that point, he had led Ada High to two straight Class 4A titles and 26 straight wins. He ran 10.47 in the 100 meters. As a quarterback, he became the school's all-time career yards leader at quarterback, and garnered all-state honors in 1995. Daniels' career at Oklahoma could be considered tumultuous at best. Perhaps his greatest downfall was his greatest asset, in that he was an excellent athlete. Under John Blake, his athleticism was exploited to the point that he never settled in a single position and never achieved more than a footnote of success at any of the myriad positions he was juggled to. He began his career as a running back, switched to strong safety, where he achieved a small amount of success before being forced to play quarterback as others proved inept when the Sooners switched to the option.
