Parker Chaney brings ball-hawking pedigree and early special-teams value to Dayton
Chaney is an ascending Dayton safety with a strong turnover background from high school, where he posted 13 career interceptions and earned multiple all-district/all-state academic honors, and he has already logged college game action with 4 tackles in 2025 while contributing on returns. His appeal goes beyond box-score stats: at 5'11", 199 pounds, he has enough build for the safety spot, has been a team captain, and his profile suggests a dependable, high-IQ defender who fits a disciplined, team-first program.
