Coming to ETSU on a basketball scholarship, Jeffrey Scott Daniel excelled at the sport, as well as being a skilled baseball player for the Bucs. During his student tenure, Scott had an earth-shattering experience when the plane carrying ETSU’s basketball team caught fire and crashed in Jasper, Alabama. Miraculously, everyone was hustled off the plane before it burst into flames and no one was killed. Majoring in Criminal Justice and Criminology, Scott planned on following in family members’ footsteps who were employed by the United States Department of Justice. Although he is currently a Regional Account Manager for OptioRx, a premiere national compounding pharmacy, he praises ETSU’s Criminal Justice department with instilling discipline, accountability, and the desire to advance in his chosen career. Living in Pikeville, Kentucky, Daniel is the proud father of a son and daughter, Kash and Julia, who are both successful like their dad.
