Dayton’s TE with old-school toughness and academic chops
John Schmall is a former Dayton tight end who stood out for reliability, versatility, and the kind of all-around football IQ coaches love; ESPN still lists him as a Dayton Flyers TE, and archived Dayton stats show he contributed as a multi-use piece rather than a flashy stat-stuffer[1][2]. His profile suggests a grinder more than a highlight reel: dependable, assignment-sound, and likely valued for blocking, detail, and trustworthiness in the room. If you want a tight end who brings steady, low-drama football and strong character, Schmall looks like the kind of fit that quietly upgrades a roster[6].
