Dayton’s veteran edge rusher and old-school stat-sheet disruptor
Nick Surges was a proven defensive end for Dayton, and in the 2018 season he started all 11 games, finished with 46 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks, showing he could live in the backfield and make offenses uncomfortable. He also earned preseason All-PFL recognition and served as a team captain, which says a lot about his competitiveness and trust level. If you want a sturdy, assignment-sound edge who brings leadership, production, and a grown-man presence, Surges is the kind of defender you’d want in your trench room.
