“The community service they’ve put in is tremendous. From what they’re doing in the classroom to their on the field success, everything doesn’t come down to the wins and losses,” Dailey said. “You’re gonna be very impressed when these guys graduate. (With) where they’re going, they’re gonna be very successful in life.”
