Jaytee Swanson, Austin Brown and Andy Cruse Join Dysert as Co-Captains
OXFORD, Ohio - In the 124-year history of Miami University football, it has never had an individual to be named captain three times ... until today.
Senior quarterback ZAC DYSERT (Ada) established a new level of respect, being named the University's first-ever three-time captain. Joining Dysert as a 2012 RedHawk co-captain are fellow seniors AUSTIN BROWN (Woodbridge, VA, defensive line), JAYTEE SWANSON (Buford, GA, linebacker) and ANDY CRUSE (Cincinnati, wide receiver).
Brown becomes a RedHawk captain for the second time (2010 and '12).
"This group has been together for a long time," said Head Coach DON TREADWELL. "All of those players who were nominated as captains are seniors and that's not always the case. That's a strong testament to our senior leadership. There's a lot of responsibility in being a captain and we believe these young men will do a good job in representing the overall team as well as the coaches.
On Dysert becoming the first three-time captain, Treadwell said: "That's special. It speaks very significantly to how the team feels about Zac. That is a high honor."
