Tommy Ciesla brings depth, size, and reliable run-stopping upside to Dartmouth’s defensive front
Ciesla is a rotational defensive tackle who has already earned meaningful game experience at Dartmouth, appearing in eight of 10 games in a winning 2024 season and making his first career tackle in a goal-line stop at Cornell.[2] That kind of trust from a successful defense suggests a player who understands leverage, discipline, and assignment football more than flash. If you want a sturdy interior defender who can hold his gap, fit a team culture, and keep getting better in a structured system, he looks like a solid fit.
