Cal RB with Academic Distinction and Multi-Sport Versatility
Mitchel Bartolo, a running back for the California Golden Bears from 2010-2013, had a limited but gritty college football career, appearing in just three games with three rushes for seven yards; however, he stood out as a scholar-athlete, earning 2014 NFF Hampshire Honor Society honors for blending academic excellence, on-field performance, and community leadership. His differentiator? Rare multi-sport prowess, exploding for 656 rushing yards at Westview HS (top-4 in Valley) before transitioning to standout lacrosse at Penn (17 goals in 2019) and Rutgers (45 goals, 62 points in 2022). Ideal for teams valuing smart, tough, versatile leaders over raw stats.
