Mirko Jaksic is Dayton’s proven interior disruptor and a preseason Buck Buchanan watch-list name
In the 2025 season, Mirko Jaksic earned First Team All-PFL honors after starting all 11 games and posting 33 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks for Dayton. At 6-foot-2 and 284 pounds, he brings the kind of anchor-heavy power teams want inside: stout at the point of attack, active in the backfield, and dependable enough to stay on the field every week. The buzz is real too—he opened 2026 on the Buck Buchanan Award watch list, which usually means coaches and voters see a rising difference-maker, not just a box-score guy.
