Michael Nardone was the veteran anchor of Fordham’s line
A fifth-year, captain-level presence for Fordham, Michael Nardone stood out more for reliability and leadership than flash: in the 2006-07 era, he was one of the Rams’ only every-game starters up front, helped protect the quarterback, and contributed to a line that powered a 2,000-yard rushing season. That combination of toughness, experience, and versatility—he even switched from defense to offense—made him the kind of OL every coach loves: steady, physical, and plugged into winning football.
