Rocco DiLeonardi is a rising, high-motor interior defender for St. Thomas
In the 2025 season, Rocco DiLeonardi logged 4 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble for St. Thomas, showing impact plays from the defensive line rather than empty stat-stuffing[3][4]. At 6-foot-2 and 258 pounds, he profiles as a strong, college-ready DL with growth room, and his 2026 roster listing marks him as a junior after redshirting in 2024 to preserve eligibility[1][11]. He also brings underrated value off the field: his high-school bio lists him as a team captain and three-time academic all-conference honoree, a good sign for reliability and coachability[11].
