Video surfaced on social media earlier in the week of Daley celebrating with Indiana fans after the 13-10 win for Indiana. As he high-fives fans above him in the stands celebrating the school's first conference title since 1967, it looks like Daley lands awkwardly and injures his right leg.

Daley was then photographed sitting up on a cart after the game.
The Kent State transfer has been a huge part of Indiana's fantastic defense in 2025. He's tied for third on the team with 5.5 sacks and leads the Hoosiers with 19 tackles for loss. Only linebackers Roijah Hardy and Isaiah Jones have more sacks and Jones ranks second on the team with five fewer tackles for loss.
It was a breakout season for Daley after he spent the first three years of his career at Kent State. He had nine tackles for loss and four sacks as a junior in 2024.
Daley had a sack against Ohio State and had tallied 11 of his tackles for loss over Indiana's last four games.
The Hoosiers are the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff and will play the winner of No. 9 Alabama vs. No. 8 Oklahoma on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl.
