Dashiell II (6'0 - 235 lbs.) enters his first season in the Indoor Football League with the Wranglers. Dashiell II had put together a stellar career at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass. During his college years, Dashiell II was dominant and amassed 150 total tackles, 30.5 sacks, 44 tackles for loss, 11 forced fumbles and six passes defended. Over the course of four seasons, Dashiell II earned an astounding number of accolades at Bentley. During the 2019, 2021 & 2022 seasons, Dashiell II was a three-time First Team All-Northeast 10 selection and a three-time All-New England Selection. In both 2021 and 2022, Dashiell II was named as a nominee for both the Cliff Harris Award and the Harlon Hill Trophy. In 2021, Dashiell II earned the Defensive Lineman of the Year Award for the Northeast 10 Conference. He followed this performance up with an even more impressive season in 2022, earning the Northeast 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year Award. During that 2022 tear, Dashiell II was also named to the Division II Elite Top 100 Team for both the preseason and regular season.

In addition to the impressive accolades mentioned above, Dashiell II was also a two-time member of the First Team D2 Super Region 1 squad. Dashiell II was also a D2 Football Second Team All-American, and a two-time D2 Football Preseason All-American. In his first season at Bentley in 2018, Dashiell II also earned a spot on the Northeast 10 Conference All-Rookie Team. Dashiell II graduated from Bentley University with his bachelor's degree in marketing with a minor in law.

Dashiell II is originally from Buena Park, Calif., where he played football at Buena Park High School. He also spent a postgraduate season at Kent School in Kent, Conn. Regarding his early inspiration to start playing football, Dashiell II credited his upbringing in Southern California. He said, "Growing up in Cali, USC was amazing, and I remember watching Reggie Bush play for them when I was around five or six years old. Watching Reggie play in the Rose Bowl was a huge inspiration to me, and I dreamed of playing football at USC." When asked what continues to drive him to play professionally, Dashiell II said, "First the Lord, secondly, I have put in a lot of work into football. I know what my production says on the field, I am not one to give up and I want to keep playing until the wheels fall off." Dashiell II is a confident player, who knows that he has the ability and work ethic to take his career further.

Dashiell II is excited to join the Wranglers organization and for the opportunity to play in the IFL. Dashiell II said, "When the Wranglers gave me the opportunity to play professionally, I knew I had to take it. I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to helping the team win and competing for another Championship." What can Wranglers fans expect from Dashiell II as a player?
