John Handley High School Alumni Stephen Daley and the Indiana Hoosiers won the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday night, 27-21 over Miami.
Daley began his college football career at Kent State before transferring to Indiana for his senior year.
Last season, his Kent State team went 0-12 while this year’s Hoosiers went 16-0.
He led one of the top defenses in the country and ranked 3rd in all of college football in tackles for loss with 19.
The 6’1” 273 pound defensive end also had 5.5 sacks, 35 tackles and 2 forced fumbles on the year along with a sack and three tackles against Ohio State in the Big Ten title game.
Daley suffered a season ending knee injury while celebrating the Big 10 Championship game and was unavailable for the playoffs.
According to his Instagram, he did travel to Miami and was able to celebrate the National Championship win with his team.
Before the injury, Daley entered the radar of NFL scouts and could hear his name called on Day 3 of the Draft in April.
