Intriguing two-way high school star learning the college game at Youngstown State
In the 2026 season, Gentile is a sophomore defensive back for Youngstown State at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, but he has no recorded college stats yet after redshirting in 2025[1][9]. What makes him interesting is the pedigree: he arrived after a monster high school career as a first-team Division VI All-Ohio running back, showing toughness, playmaking, and multi-position versatility[1]. For a team, he looks like a developmental piece with athletic upside and some edge, but not yet a proven on-field commodity at the FCS level[1][7].
