Marcello Bernardi is a disruptive, high-effort edge presence for St. Francis
In the 2024 season, Marcello Bernardi posted 28 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, a half-sack, and 5 quarterback hurries, then carried that disruptive front-line role into 2025 with big-game flashes like 2.0 tackles for loss and 1 sack against Siena Heights. He’s a 6-foot-2, 235-pound senior DL who brings twitch, motor, and backfield-chasing energy more than pure size, and he’s also been recognized for strong academics. If you want a tough, active defensive lineman who can create pressure and fit a culture-first locker room, Bernardi is absolutely worth a look.
