Bio
2022 (R-Fr.): Will compete for playing time at QB as a redshirt freshman.
2021 (Fr.):
• Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year
Was a redshirt in his first season at UM
High School: A two-sport athlete in football and track and field at Liberty High School… Missed his senior football season in the fall of 2020 due to Covid restrictions… Led Liberty to the 2019 4A Nevada State Championship, the first championship in school history… Also led Liberty to the 2019 Southern Nevada Conference Championship with a 10-5 record… Named 2019 team Offensive MVP and state championship game MVP, as well as the “Don’t Doubt Me” (comeback player) Award winner… Missed first four games of the 2019 season due to injury. Came back to win the starting job and rattled off 10-straight wins to win the state championship, including a win over Bishop Gorman in the state semifinal… 10-0 record as a starter… Went 138/181 passing as a junior for a 79-percent completion rating… Passed for 2,060 yards and 24 touchdowns… Also rushed for 791 yards on 102 attempts with 10 touchdowns in 10 games as a junior… Prep coach was Rich Muraco... Selected to play in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Personal: Holds a 3.8 GPA… Son of Kristen Cervantes and Greg Ochoa of Las Vegas… Enjoys hiking and country music… Lists favorite food as burritos.
Quoting Coach Hauck: “Daniel is a true dual threat quarterback. He runs well, he throws it well, and the words that comes to mind when I see him are toughness and competitiveness. He was injured as a junior for four games and his team went 0-4. But he came back and they went 10-0 from there and won the Nevada State Championship, which is major deal because they beat Bishop Gorman in the semifinal, who hadn’t lost a Nevada High School game in about 10 years. So, we’re excited for Daniel to join the program.”
