Matt Grande brings disruptive, every-down edge to Marist’s defensive line
Matt Grande profiles as a reliable Marist DL who impacts both the run game and the passing lanes, finishing the 2025 season with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and 4 pass breakups. Marist’s own coverage described him as becoming a “huge force on every snap,” which points to a motor and snap-to-snap consistency that goes beyond box-score production. For a team looking for a physical, assignment-sound defender who can create negative plays without needing the spotlight, Grande looks like a solid fit.
