California Athlete Naseri Danielson Commits to BYU

Danielson played both wide receiver and safety for his high school

It's national signing day and BYU picked up a commitment from California athlete Naseri Danielson.Danielson, who is listed at 6'2, played both wide receiver and safety for St. Mary's High School in Stockton, California.

Danielson was rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports and he racked up competing offers from from Army, Navy, and Nevada among others early in the process. Danielson has been recruited by various PAC-12 schools throughout his recruitment, but BYU was the first Power Five school to pull the trigger and extend an offer. The Cougars were able to swoop in at the final hour and land Danielson's services.

As a wide receiver, Danielson excels at high-pointing the football to make contested catches and he is naturally gifted at creating separation off the line of scrimmage. He racked up over 1,000 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns on 65 catches as a senior. On defense, Danielson could be described as a ball-hawking safety and excellent tackler. He finished with three interceptions in 2022. You can check out his senior highlights below.

Off the football field, Danielson excels in the classroom where he has a 4.0 GPA. He was also a captain on his high school team that only had a few seniors on the roster. Danielson was a key member of a team that went 10-0 and had one of the best seasons in school history. 

BYU's recruitment of Danielson was short and sweet. After coming to Provo for a visit in January, Danielson received an offer from the Cougars and the rest is history. Danielson will join the program for the 2023 season.
