Trevor Andrews Brings In 25 New First-Year Flyers Into His Program

Dayton- University of Dayton head football coach Trevor Andrews has announced his third recruiting class. Andrews and his staff have added 25 incoming freshmen for the 2025 season.

"I am very pleased and excited to announce our newest class of Flyer Football student-athletes," Andrews said. "This group as a whole is an outstanding collection of true student-athletes in terms of the Athletic ability and academic acumen.

"When you look at our class as a group, I think it's obvious that we just didn't get better but we also got bigger. We were able to add from several key areas within our six-hour radius from campus. Including 11 from our home state of Ohio, Six from the Chicagoland area of Illinois, three from both Indiana and Kentucky, and one from Tennessee.

"The number of team captains we have in this class speaks to the quality of individuals that we're able to attract to the University of Dayton. Leadership is such an important factor on any team and when you can bring in young men who are proven leaders in high school it can really move that leadership development process along once they arrive on campus.

"These young men fit our culture, not only athletically but also as members of our campus community."

Is humble twice as much, who loves others twice as much”.

It was a cold and grey Minnesota day yesterday for the Flyers. Dayton lost to the St. Thomas Tommies 32-9.

Dayton finishes the 2024 campaign at 6-5, 4-4 in PFL play.

For a late November Saturday in Minnesota this afternoon the weather was actually pretty good. It was dry, in the low to mid 30’s the entire day and there was not much of a breeze at all.

The Gridiron Flyers had to settle for a Danny Baker field goal after the Dayton “D”, led by Gideon Lampron and Aiden McKinley got them the ball with a strip sack and recovery early in the first quarter.

Dayton was then held scoreless until the fourth quarter when Senior Jack Coleman caught a 13 yard TD pass from Drew VanVleet.

The Dayton defense was once again led by the group of Coleman, McKinley and Lampron. In his last game as a Flyer, Ca’Ron Coleman had nine tackles, six solo, and two tackles for a loss.
Junior Gideon Lampron also finished with nine tackles, five solo, two for a loss, one sack and a fumble recovery. Senior Aiden McKinley had two sacks, seven tackles and a forced fumble on the day.

With the 6-4 season the Flyers improved from last seasons 4-7 year and will use this season as another building block in the programs storied history.

11/23/2024

The Flyers started the 100+ day battle of the 2024 football season back in August when the temp’s were in the 90’s and are finishing up the season in Minneapolis/St. Paul today where the temps will be in the mid 30’s.

This week was a classic Ohio weather week for the Gridiron Flyers, Tuesday and Wednesday you could still get away with wearing shorts and a hoody, but on Thursday winter arrived, temps in the high 20’s and low 30’s, and Dayton set a record for snowfall that day.

After practicing in the snow on Thursday Dayton was back out Friday morning in the cold before their flight to Minnesotafor today’s game.

Dayton is looking for its seventh win on the ‘24 season, its 5th PFL win of ‘24 and the 712th win in program history.
