Michael Cardilli brings proven linebacker depth and game experience to Southeast Missouri State
Cardilli is a physically dependable linebacker with clear college-game experience, after playing in 11 games for Western Illinois in the 2023 season and recording 23 tackles with 2 tackles for loss before appearing in Southeast Missouri’s 2024 linebacker mix. The main appeal is his fit as a steady inside linebacker who can handle volume, fill run gaps, and add depth in a competitive room; the downside is that the available public data does not show major headline-grabbing production, so his value is more about reliability, toughness, and role fit than star-level splash plays.
