DAYTON FLYERS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
University of Dayton's football program competes in the Football Championship Subdivision within the Atlantic 10 Conference, representing a Catholic institution founded in 1850 with an enrollment of 11,378 students. Coach Trevor Andrews oversees a roster of 100 players competing for the Flyers during the fall season. Based in Dayton, Ohio, the program operates from its home venue while navigating the competitive landscape of FCS football in a conference that spans multiple states across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
The Atlantic 10 Conference provides Dayton with a consistent scheduling framework against regional opponents who share similar Division I-FCS classification. Andrews' 100-player roster represents a mid-sized squad typical for FCS programs operating within the constraints of scholarship limitations and academic standards set by the University of Dayton's Marianist identity. The program's positioning within this conference structure offers both the challenge of competing against established FCS programs and the opportunity to build regional recognition in Ohio's competitive college sports landscape.
