Northwestern’s high-motor sack artist with proven Big Ten production
Gaziano was a disruptive, technically sound edge defender for Northwestern, finishing his 2019 senior season with 9 sacks and 49 tackles while setting the program’s all-time sack record at 28.5, which shows real, sustained production rather than a one-year flash. His calling card was effort, pursuit, and strong play at the point of attack, with evaluators noting solid athleticism and hand quickness; that combination made him a dependable fit for teams wanting a relentless, assignment-disciplined DL who can win with effort and technique more than pure size or freakish traits.
