Alex Hirschfield brings veteran depth and special-teams juice to Dayton’s linebacker room
In the 2022 season, Alex Hirschfield appeared in 10 games for Dayton and recorded 10 tackles, plus a touchdown, which hints at a linebacker who can help in multiple phases rather than just rack up tackles[2][5]. He was also recognized on the 2023 NFF Hampshire Honor Society list, a nice signal for the kind of dependable, disciplined player coaches love to have in the building[4]. The big differentiator here is experience, football IQ, and versatility—more steady contributor than flashy stat-stuffer, but the kind of tough, trustworthy fit that can raise a defense’s floor[1][2].
