High-energy Marist linebacker who brings instincts and toughness
Blaise Spinelli has been described by Marist as a “high-energy, intense competitor” at linebacker, and that’s the kind of tone-setter coaches love in the middle of a defense.[8] In his Marist career, he showed early impact with a team-best 7 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in one game, plus a season line that included 44 tackles, 3.5 TFL, a half-sack, and 3 pass breakups, hinting at a linebacker who can diagnose plays and make disruptive stops in space.[11][6] He also logged a fumble recovery and earned playing time as a freshman, which points to trust, effort, and a nose for the football.[10][13]
