Citadel's Mike Bartilucci: AFCA First-Team All-American Anchor with Elite Run-Blocking Pedigree
Mike Bartilucci, The Citadel's 6-1, 300-lb graduate student center, dominated the 2025 FCS season by starting all 12 games, leading a veteran O-line to the nation's No. 9 rushing attack at 210.6 yards per game (SoCon-best), earning AFCA First-Team All-American, AP Honorable Mention, and Jacobs Blocking Award honors. A Jacksonville native with unyielding intensity and academic excellence (2026 Hampshire Honor Society, Campbell Trophy semifinalist), he's a proven mauler in triple-option schemes, reliable starter with zero injury flags—ideal for teams seeking a tough, intelligent interior lineman ready for pro development.
