Cornell’s David D’Amelio brought stability and run-game punch at right guard
In his 2018 senior season, David D’Amelio opened as Cornell’s starting right guard and helped anchor an offensive line that powered a 1,561-yard rushing attack and cut sacks to 18, the program’s fewest since 2006. His value goes beyond box-score stats: Cornell notes he held down the job for eight games, helped the Big Red move the ball against elite rush defenses, and was part of a front that improved as the season went on. He profiles as a reliable, physical interior lineman with proven durability and consistency when healthy.
