Caden Gabriele brings captain-grade production and old-school linebacker DNA to Bucknell
In the 2025 season, Caden Gabriele arrived at Bucknell as a 6-foot-2, 200-pound freshman linebacker with a rugged high-school résumé: 65 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles, plus team-captain credentials and the school’s all-time tackles-for-loss record. His appeal is clear: disruption, edge, and leadership, backed by a football family background that often shows up as instincts and toughness. Early roster listings identify him as an active freshman ILB for the 2026 Bucknell Bison, so he looks like a developmental fit for a defense that wants physicality and playmaking in the middle.
