Pellom McDaniels III
A great story about Beaver alumnus, Pellom McDaniels III, honored by the NCAA.
The Silver Anniversary Award recognizes former NCAA athletes for accomplishments in the 25 years after their college careers ended. Oregon State Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker ’63 and basketball All-American Mel Counts ’64 are the other former Beaver athletes to have received the award.
McDaniels, who earned a degree in speech communication from Oregon State in 1990, will accept the award in January at the NCAA Convention in Washington, D.C. He lettered as a defensive lineman for the Beavers in 1987-89 and was a co-captain his senior season. He played in the National Football League for the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons from 1991 until 2000.
