MAC GRANT III EARNS 67TH ZULLI AWARD
• Dayton redshirt junior Mac Grant III was this year's recipient of the 67th annual Lt. Andy Zullia Memorial Award, the most prestigious honor for the UD football program. The award goes to the Flyer senior who best exemplifies the qualities of Zulli, a former UD football player who was killed in a military vehicle accident while serving in the Army in Germany shortly after his graduation in 1954.  Zulli was not a star football player at Dayton, but his qualities of sportsmanship, scholarship and leadership were so exceptional that this award was created in his memory shortly after his death.

LEVI MOELL RECEIVES LOCKHEED MARTIN ARMED FORCES AWARD PRESENTED BY THE FWAA
• Redshirt junior Levi Moell was named the 2025 recipient of the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Award presented by the Football Writers Association of America. Due to his accomplishments on the field, in the classroom, and as a member of the U.S. Marines, the West Liberty native was this year's honoree.
