David Puloka is the Crusaders’ bruising, decorated DL anchor — and a Holy Cross legend
David Puloka’s profile is all about production and pedigree: at Holy Cross, he was a three-time All-Patriot League defensive lineman, two-time All-New England pick, and a two-time captain, finishing with 155 tackles, 44 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, 13 pass breakups, and seven forced fumbles in his career. He was a disruptive, high-motor interior force who also brought rare versatility and toughness, even doubling as an elite track-and-field thrower. For a program or roster fit, the appeal is simple: relentless effort, proven leadership, and game-wrecking physicality.
