College career

Feeney set records in his freshman year, by starting all 12 games and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors at right guard, and did not allow a single sack all season.[3] He suffered a Lisfranc fracture during a scrimmage that would cause him to miss the entire 2013 season. Feeney was redshirted to maintain three years of eligibility.[4]

Feeney returned in 2014 to what ESPN termed "the B1G's most underrated position group".[5] He started all 12 games in a year where Indiana set program single-season records with 3,163 rushing yards,[6] led by 2,036 yards from Heisman candidate and future 3rd round NFL draft pick, Tevin Coleman.[7]

Ahead of his redshirt junior season in 2015, Feeney was named to the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy watch lists.[8]

Personal life

Dan is the son of Tony and Kim Feeney, and has previously volunteered at bible school and Erin's Walk For Change.[9]

He is a "die-hard" fan of the Chicago Bears.[10]
