Christopher Beaschler named Pioneer Football League co-scholar athlete of the year
Ada HS grad Christopher Beaschler, University of Dayton senior linebacker, and Butler senior quarterback Matt Shiltz were named the Pioneer Football League Co-Scholar Athletes of the Year, Wednesday.
The two also were among 52 PFL student-athletes selected to the 23rd annual Academic All-PFL Teams, as selected by the league’s sports information directors.
It is the second year the PFL has recognized its top student-athletes, both on the field and in the classroom, with the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. It also is the second year there were two honorees due to a tie in the voting.
Beaschler, from Ada, is a mechanical engineering major who accumulated a 3.68 grade-point average entering his senior season at Dayton. He was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team in October. Beaschler is a three-time Academic All-PFL selection and a three-time member of the league’s academic honor roll.
On the field, Beaschler led Dayton and was fifth in the PFL in total tackles (98) and solo tackles (53), marshalling a Flyers defense that ranked 16th in the FCS in both pass efficiency defense (105.8) and scoring defense (18.6) at regular season’s end.
He was a first-team All-PFL selection for a second consecutive year as he helped lead Dayton to a share of the PFL Championship and the league’s bid into the Division I Football Championship.
He is the son of Ron and Christy Beachler.
