Matt Brockberg brings Dayton a long, physical safety with upside
In the 2026 season, Matt Brockberg is listed by Dayton as a 6-3, 190-pound redshirt sophomore safety, a build that jumps off the page for a defensive back and hints at press, run-support, and matchup flexibility.[2][7] His differentiator is size with range potential: he gives the Flyers a bigger body in the secondary, which can matter against run-heavy teams and bigger slot targets.[2] The big question is whether his on-field impact matches the frame, because the available public stats and rankings do not yet show a broad national profile, so he looks more like a developmental fit than a proven star right now.[1][15]
