Miles Ashleman brought veteran DT punch to Dayton, with sack production and disruptive interior play
In the 2015 season, Dayton DT Miles Ashleman flashed real interior pass-rush juice, including four sacks over his first two games back from a camp injury and another two-sack outing the following week. The 6-foot-2, 262-pound redshirt senior was valued for disruptive leverage, quick backfield penetration, and the ability to tilt protection from the inside—classic “don’t ignore me” defensive-tackle stuff. His stat line is modest overall, but the impact plays hint at a high-effort, problem-making lineman who could fit a team that wants toughness, experience, and occasional havoc in the A-gap.
