ST. LOUIS – The Pioneer Football League has announced its end-of-season awards and honored numerous University of Dayton student-athletes on this year's all-conference teams.

The Flyers have improved each year under head coach Trevor Andrews and finished the 2025 season with a 7-4 record overall and 5-3 PFL mark. Dayton was competing down to the final two games for a shot at the title, but fell to eventual champions Drake.
On the PFL First Team this year was junior Gavin Lochow (All-Purpose), senior Ryan Iiams (offensive line), redshirt sophomore Mirko Jaksic (defensive line), redshirt sophomore Vincent Firenze (defensive back), and redshirt senior Austin Yeager (long snapper).

Second Team All-PFL honorees included junior Luke Hansen (running back), redshirt sophomore Donovan Weatherly (fullback), redshirt sophomore Brandon Martin (defensive line), and redshirt junior Logan Forcum (punter).
Receiving Honorable Mention accolades this season were redshirt sophomore Collin Ansel (defensive line), redshirt sophomore Matthew Barnes (offensive line), redshirt sophomore Joe Kingsbury (linebacker), redshirt junior Luke Mitchell (defensive end), redshirt freshman Michael Mussari (receiver), redshirt sophomore Sam Schmiesing (linebacker), redshirt sophomore Bryce Schondelmyer (quarterback), and redshirt sophomore Josh Williams (defensive back).

This group of student-athletes helped rack up eight PFL weekly honors and national recognition with their win over No. 16/19 Presbyterian. All but the senior Yeager are expected to return for the 2026 season with the future looking bright for Dayton Football.

In last year's PFL release, six Flyers were honored while this season, Dayton had nine named all-league with eight more receiving at least one vote from a PFL coach to earn honorable mention.
