Daley enters his fourth season as offensive line/tight ends coach on Head Coach Zac Bruney’s staff.
During the 2021 season, Daley helped tight end Tristan Ballard to his second All-MEC honor as he pulled in over 200 receiving yards and two touchdowns on the season. Daley also assisted with the offensive line that made the way for the program's first-ever 1,000-yard rushing attack. Cade Raudebaugh would earn his second All-MEC Second Team honors with the help of Daley's coaching.
In the spring of 2021, Daley led an offensive line that produced the best running attack in school history, with Sy Alli IV picking up over 700 yards on the ground in four games. At the end of the season, Aaron Hess and Cade Raudebaugh were both honored as All-MEC Second Team Award winners for their efforts.
