Dayton’s high-IQ, high-output linebacker and a true throwback tone-setter
In the 2016 season, Christopher Beaschler was Dayton’s defensive engine, leading the Flyers with 88 tackles while adding 5.0 tackles for loss and three sacks, and he also ranked among the top active FCS players in career tackles[7]. His calling card is more than production: he was repeatedly praised as a captain, a “total package” scholar-athlete, and a relentless, physical presence who set the standard for Dayton’s defense[2][10]. If a team wants a linebacker who diagnoses quickly, tackles consistently, and brings elite leadership plus academic discipline, Beaschler fits the mold beautifully[2][7].
