Release Date: November 9, 2006
 MONMOUTH,
Ill. – For the second year in a row, a Monmouth College football
player has been honored for his athletic and academic excellence by
being named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V College
Division first team.
Dante Daniels’ (Waukegan, Ill./Gurnee-Warren) name will now be
placed on the national ballot for the ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-American.
Daniels rewrote the record books at Monmouth this season, becoming
the school’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 1993 while racking up a
school-record 1,557 yards, good for second in the nation in Division
III. His 1,689 all-purpose yards is also a school record, and he set
the new standard for rushing with five games over 200 yards. The
senior tailback twice this season set the single-game rushing record
(247) and led the Fighting Scots in scoring (78).
The Scots finished with a 7-3 record and tied Ripon for second place
in the Midwest Conference. In Daniels’ two seasons, Monmouth has
compiled a 17-4 record and averaged nearly 34 points per game.
A member of the Dean’s List and named all-conference in 2005,
Daniels follows graduated quarterback Mitch Tanney from 2005 as the
second Fighting Scot in as many years to be named to the ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-District V College Division first team.
