John Gioia is Towson’s steady heat-seeking LB after a breakout 2024
In the 2024 season, John Gioia emerged as Towson’s tackling engine, leading the Tigers with 7.5 tackles per game, finishing with 68 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks in just nine games while earning All-CAA Honorable Mention. He looks like a fit if your team wants an inside linebacker who plays with urgency, reliability and downhill physicality; he also brings transfer seasoning from Wagner, where he posted 85 tackles in 2023. The differentiator is consistency — he was credited with at least five tackles in every game he played for Towson.
