As the year comes to a close, we'd like to recognize the spectacular successes that the University of Dayton achieved during Fall 2016. The Flyers really soared, earning four conference championships—just one of three schools across the country to attain this incredible accomplishment, including Stanford!
Senior linebacker Christopher Beaschler was named a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American for the second consecutive year, and teammates David Leisring and Tucker Yinger were named to the second team. Dayton and Boise State are the only two Division I institutions with three Academic All-Americans this year. Beaschler was one of 16 finalists for the 2016 National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy. The trophy, sometimes referred to as "the Academic Heisman," recognizes an individual as the top football scholar-athlete in the nation.
