It’s been a great couple of days for Harry Lee Daniel.
The Highland Springs standout wide receiver committed to the University of Richmond Thursday.
That was after he led Highland Springs to an 81-51 victory over Meadowbrook Wednesday on the hardwood with some Spider coaches in the house, including head coach Dave Clawson.
“I probably knew since after the Huguenot game,” Daniel said before basketball practice Thursday. “I was just going to wait until after the season was over.”
And what a season and career it was for Daniel. He was the Springers’ leading receiver with 37 receptions for 588 yards and nine touchdowns.
The 6-2, 190-pounder could of had more if not for a ridiculous seven receptions for 189 yards and three TDs against Woodbridge that put everyone on notice; not to mention a strong fleet of receivers and lopsided margins.
“Harry’s meant so much to our school, not even really the athletic department,” Springers coach Scott Burton said. “He is what you think of when you say the word student-athlete. He carries a 3.1 grade-point average. He takes advanced classes. He’s the guy when we have community service events, he’s front and center. He doesn’t shy away from being the role model or the spokesperson.”
Daniel caught over 100 passes in his Springer career and looks to make an immediate impact at UR.
“I get to make an impact right at home,” Daniel said. “I’m close to my family so they can come and watch me play. I can be home and enjoy being a student at the University of Richmond.”
