developmental Dayton back with speed, size, and two-way flexibility
Cherry is a young Dayton Flyers running back listed at 5-foot-9, 190 pounds and was still a freshman in the 2025 season, with roster listings also tagging him as RB/DB, which hints at useful athletic versatility. In the 2025 season, Dayton’s official roster said he did not see action, so he remains more of a projection piece than a proven producer right now. The appeal is the frame, the multi-position value, and the upside of an underclassman who can grow into a special-teams or depth role if his motor and physicality keep trending up.
