Tony DeMonaco brought old-school linebacker grit to Sacramento State
Tony DeMonaco was a 6-foot, 210-pound senior linebacker for Sacramento State in the 2006 season, and the stat line that jumps out is his eight tackles against Northern Colorado, including five solo stops, which hints at a downhill, physical play style. He profiles as a dependable, instinctive defender rather than a flashy stat-chaser—more thumper than highlight machine, with the kind of toughness and run-support value coaches usually love. If you need a steady inside presence who plays with edge and doesn’t mind doing the dirty work, DeMonaco fits the bill.
