Joey Patierno is a sturdy, disruptive Marist DL with rising production
Patierno is a 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive lineman who played all 11 games for Marist in the 2024 season and started the final 10, finishing with 23 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup.[7] He looks like a reliable, physical interior presence who can hold his ground and flash enough pass-rush juice to matter on obvious passing downs, which makes him a useful fit for teams needing toughness and effort up front rather than a pure stat-sheet star.[1][7]
