Safety Vincent Firenze has emerged as a playmaking, all-around defensive leader for Dayton
Vincent Firenze has already shown he can swing games for Dayton: in 2025 he earned FCS National Defensive Player of the Week honors after a career-high 14 tackles and a pick-six in an upset win over nationally ranked Presbyterian, and he ranked second on the team in tackles and interceptions. A 6'4", 200-pound defensive back with strong production and ball skills, he stands out as an impact safety whose size, versatility, and knack for game-changing plays make him a compelling fit for a defense that values range and physicality.
