Bucknell’s ironman OL anchor, Ian Dal Bello, brings rare durability and leadership
Ian Dal Bello has been a classic Bucknell trench grinder: in the 2011 season he had started 41 straight games, moved from left guard to center without flinching, and was part of a senior-laden line that gave the Bison real stability up front[1][5]. He was also recognized on Phil Steele’s 2011 Preseason All-Patriot League team, which underscores how respected he was around the league[12]. The big draw here is dependability, versatility, and veteran toughness — not flashy stats, but the kind of steady, selfless lineman coaches trust when they want the front end to stop wobbling[1][5].
