The school said Friday that follow-up tests on the sophomore revealed a C1 neck fracture. Daniels, injured during a preseason practice this month, started two games in 2009 before a broken leg ended his season.
Coach Paul Wulff says “my heart goes out to LeAndre.” The coach said Daniels will stay on campus to finish his degree.
The school added that the injury is stable and that Daniels does not have neurological damage. He will be fitted with a special hard collar, and next week a procedure will fit him for a halo collar that he will wear for up to 10 weeks. He may still need surgery.
