Danly’s history with the sports medicine department spans several roles. He first joined the staff as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer in 2019.

In addition to his responsibilities on the sidelines, Danly serves as an adjunct professor within the Health, Wellness, and Exercise Science department.

A proud alumnus, Danly completed his undergraduate and graduate education at Benedictine College, earning his Bachelor of Arts in Athletic Training with a minor in Psychology in 2019. Danly went on to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Benedictine College in 2021.

Originally from Tyler, Texas, Danly enjoys spending his time away from the athletic training room by exploring the outdoors, with a particular passion for hiking and skiing trips.
