tackling machine and defensive tone-setter for Holy Cross
Cialino’s calling card is **production through pursuit**: in 2009 he was a senior linebacker who led Holy Cross with 15 tackles in the Lehigh win, finished second on the team with 68 total tackles, and earned Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career.[2] He brings the kind of **high-effort, sideline-to-sideline** presence that helps a defense stay organized and physical, and his back-to-back double-digit tackle games suggest reliability in big moments.[2] If you want a linebacker who can consistently finish plays and raise the unit’s intensity, he fits the bill.[2]
