Drew Balogh brings captaincy pedigree and a hard-nosed safety frame to Dayton
In the 2026 season, Drew Balogh is a freshman safety for Dayton listed at 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, and his biggest edge is leadership: he arrives as a high school captain, a Panther Athletic Council member, and a GWOC Scholar Athlete Award winner. That profile suggests a disciplined, high-IQ defender who should fit a team that values communication, accountability, and steady back-end play more than highlight-reel flash. He looks like the kind of player coaches trust early because he already brings a captain’s mentality and a strong football résumé.
