veteran BC linebacker and tone-setter
DePalma was a reliable, high-IQ inside linebacker for Boston College, peaking with **93 tackles in the 2023 season** and earning **All-ACC Third Team** honors while serving as a two-time captain. His value went beyond tackle totals: he was a steady communicator, a physical run defender, and a player trusted to finish games, with a career that also included a comeback from an Achilles injury in 2020. If you want a disciplined, tough, leadership-heavy linebacker who elevates a defense’s consistency, he fits the profile.
