Brady Danielson has ultimately decided basketball over football at the college level.
The two-sport York senior all-stater announced Monday that he would sign his national letter of intent with Northern State on Tuesday, choosing that option over an opportunity to walk on the Nebraska football program.
The 6-foot-3 Danielson originally committed to Northern State, last year’s NCAA Division II runner-up, in August, but the two-time first-team Super-State football player caught the attention of the Huskers after another strong season this fall. He's been weighing both options the past two months.
Danielson averaged 17 points per game last season and powered the Dukes to the Class B state title in March. The guard has led York to a 10-1 start this season, scoring 23 points in each of the last two games in wins over Beatrice and Northwest to bring his season average to 18.4 points per contest.

He was Super-State as a defensive back on York’s 2017 state championship football team and earned first-team Super-State honors this past fall again, this time as a receiver. Danielson’s teammate, Garrett Snodgrass, signed his football national letter with NU last month.
