College career

Freshman year

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]

Sophomore year

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 Tevin Coleman.[7]

Junior year

Ahead of his redshirt junior season in 2015, Feeney was named to the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy watch lists.[8] At the end of the season, Feeney earned consensus first team All-American honors from ESPN, CBS Sports, the Associated Press and Sports Illustrated.[9]

Senior year

Prior to the start of the 2016 season, Feeney announced he would be returning for his senior year.[10] On September 10, 2016, Feeney suffered a concussion while playing against Ball State.[11] Feeney would be medically cleared to return to action prior to the Hoosiers game against Maryland on October 29, 2016.[12] On November 30, 2016, Feeney was named First Team All-Big Ten.[13]

Professional career

In June 2016, Feeney was labelled the “best interior offensive lineman” prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft by NFL analyst Lance Zierlein.[14]

Personal life

Dan is the son of Tony and Kim Feeney, and has previously volunteered at bible school and Erin's Walk For Change.[15]

He is a "die-hard" fan of the Chicago Bears.[16]
