Cory Daniel

Maryland native Cory Daniel played in Major League Rugby between 2020-2025. He has represented his local MLR side, Old Glory DC for his entire MLR career, signing with them ahead of their inaugural season in 2020 but he did not appear at MLR level before the season was cancelled after 5 games due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Daniel earned his MLR debut in 2021, and finished the season with 8 caps (5 starts) and 3 tries. His impressive debut season and stand-out defensive work resulted in his selection to a 9-week development academy for the USA Men’s High-Performance Pathways program after which he was selected for the USA Eagles’ American Pacific Challenge in Uruguay. Daniel is a regular in the USA Eagles squad, featuring in both the 2024 PNC and 2025 July Tests

Daniel’s 2022 season was even more impressive than his debut season. He appeared in 15 of DC’s 16 games, starting 13 and scoring an additional 4 tries. On defence, he finished as the highest tackler in MLR during the regular season, with 255 completed tackles. A high school and university level wrestler, Daniel’s reputation as a fearsome tackler was warranted. He only appeared in 4 games (all starts) during 2023 before being sidelined with injury, but still contributed another try and 61 tackles in those 4 games, as DC made the post-season for the first time in club history, making it to the Eastern Conference Final before being defeated 25-7 by the eventual Champions, the New England Free Jacks.

On September 26th, 2023, Old Glory DC announced the re-signing of Cory Daniel for the 2024 MLR season, where he would earn a personal best 15 starts in 15 games, adding 4 tries to his total and finishing as the league’s highest tackler for the 2nd time in his MLR career, with an enormous 276 (a new PB), over 50 ahead of 2nd place (Utah’s Frank Lochore on 221). Old Glory DC qualified for the post-season for the 2nd year in a row, where they ran the eventual champions (again) New England Free Jacks close in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but fell 33-29 on the road. Daniel was named to the All-MLR First XV team for his outstanding season. On December 24th, 2024, Old Glory DC confirmed the return of Cory Daniel for the 2025 season where he continued his excellent form, putting together two great seasons in a row for the first time in his career. Daniel scored 3 tries and started all 15 of his appearances in 2025, helping Old Glory DC to qualify for the postseason for the 3rd season in a row, where they fell to the Chicago Hounds in the Eastern Conference Semifinal. Daniel continued his incredible tackling that season, recording his 3rd 225+ tackle season and finishing with 237 in total. This put him 2nd league-wide behind Utah’s Frank Lochore on an incredible 301, setting a new MLR record previous held by Daniel (276 in 2024).

Mid way through the 2025 season, on April 22nd, 2025, Old Glory DC announced that Cory Daniel had signed a contract extension with the team and would continue for Old Glory DC for 2026 ‘and beyond’. While it unclear what ‘and beyond’ entails, NARDB takes this to mean that it is a multi-year contract through at least 2027. This was confirmed on 21st October 2025, when Old Glory DC announced the return of Cory Daniel for their 2026 campaign.

Casey Renaud

Vermont native Casey Renaud played in Major League Rugby during the 2021 season. He represented Old Glory DC for his entire MLR career.

A South Burlington native, 6’8 lock Casey Renaud attended Kutztown University, where he earned Collegiate All-American honours in 2019. Thanks to his performances at Kutztown, Renaud was selected 11th overall by Old Glory DC in MLR’s inaugural Collegiate Draft in 2020. The Flags signed Renaud for the 2021 campaign, and he earned his pro debut off the bench against the NOLA Gold in March 2021.

In total, Renaud earned 9 appearances for Old Glory DC in 2021 but despite showing promise during an impressive rookie campaign, Renaud did not return to the team for 2022. Instead, he seems to have stepped away from rugby completely in order to pursue other opportunities.

On 17th October 2023, Old Glory DC announced the return of Jack Iscaro for the 2024 MLR season, where he followed up his 2023 with another solid season, again helping the flags to a playoff berth, again meeting the Free Jacks and running them really close, but falling 29-33 as New England went on to lift the shield again. Iscaro was named to the 2024 All-MLR Second XV for his performance that season, and on December 24th, 2024, Old Glory DC announced the return of Jack Iscaro for the 2025 season.
