Cal Poly’s bruising fullback and proven short-yardage spark
Romanelli has been a classic Cal Poly tone-setter: a 6-foot-3, 240-pound fullback who earned No. 1 duties, powered the Mustangs’ rushing attack, and in the 2011 season topped 1,000 rushing yards with 1,015 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s the kind of old-school, physical fit coaches love — durable, locally rooted, and trusted in traffic — with enough production to show it’s not just window dressing. If your team wants a rugged, downhill mover who can finish runs and bring a blue-collar edge, he’s a strong fit.
