The last time Dayton played a season in 2019, Easterling led FCS schools in solo tackles per game (7.5) and turnovers acquired (six interceptions and three fumbles). The Fairborn High School graduate was named an All-American by HERO Sports, the Walter Camp Foundation, the Associated Press and STATS FCS.
Chisholm, a junior from Union, Ky., ranked second in the nation in rushing yards (112.9 per game) in 2019. He led the nation in all-purpose yards (204.3 per game).
Easterling and Chisholm were two of five Flyers named to the All-PFL preseason team last week. Dayton was picked to finish fourth in the preseason poll. UD opens the season against Robert Morris on Sept. 4 at Welcome Stadium.
