Dante Mascio is Bucknell’s emerging tackling machine at linebacker
In the 2025 season, Dante Mascio saw action in two games for Bucknell and recorded a tackle against Air Force, while the roster lists him at 5-foot-11, 205 pounds as a sophomore linebacker. He looks like a compact, physical defender with upside: enough size to play downhill, enough speed to fit the modern LB mold, and a path to bigger snaps if he keeps turning limited reps into reliable production. For a team needing a tough, ascending linebacker rather than a finished product, he’s a name worth watching.
