Myles Dais came on to the Wayne State College football team in 2023 as a part of the transfer portal and made the official roster in 2024 as a junior. He played in four games that season racking up one sack and three total tackles.
So far in the 2025 season, Dais has racked up two sacks, seven total tackles and a forced fumble. Dais has made his presence known for the WSC defensive line group. Dais explained why he decided to commit to WSC over any other college.
“I chose to come to Wayne State because of the culture and the coaches caring about the players more than just football,” Dais said. “I came on my visit with my ideal things I wanted in a school when I was in the portal. My first time here all the coaches were honest upfront to me about who they are and what they are about. Which made it easier for me to buy in and be a part of this program.”
Dais also explained what he wants to achieve while he is at Wayne State.
“Getting my degree and being a 5th year senior who hasn’t seen the field a lot through the past 4 years is to leave everything on the field, with no regrets. Being able to tell my future sons that I played high level collegiate football and be able to help them go farther with football or any sports than me, now that I’ve been on this path. I can teach them and guide them better from being on this level, while I didn’t have that I had to do it on my own and figure it out,” Dais said.
Head football coach for the Wayne State College Wildcats, Logan Masters described how Dais was when he first got on to campus.
“There’s no way this kid’s going to make it,” Masters said. “Do we need trainers at workouts because he could barely make it through just basic lifting, basically he really struggled compared the rest of the team that it was hard, but it wasn’t as bad as the way Miles’ body took it. Now, he’s completely changed that. He’s a totally different person than what’s it been 3 years, I think. Now looks great and plays for us. But if you would have said the first semester he was here, I always said no way, jose. So, I’m really proud of the growth he did from day one to where he is now.”
Masters also explained what Dais led by example on and off the field.
“Oh, I mean, he works every day. He doesn’t try and take shortcuts or anything like that,” Masters said. “Because where how he got to where he is now. That’s not how he got there. And so usually when you find success, doing stuff the hard way, it just comes ingrained in you. I didn’t really think Miles was the most vocal person out there or anything. But his example by just working hard and doing your work every day speaks volume stories at now and where he came from.”
Defensive Coordinator for Wayne State College, Scott McLaughlin commented on Dais’ work ethic on the field.
“He’s always shown it to be explosive, and I knew something was in there, because I do a little individual with the defensive line as well and he just kept working. He worked hard and he knew he had to get better and knew it needed to be done to get on the field,” McLaughlin said.
