Dominic Gentile, WR– Viera High c/o 23
6’2 180lbs
Gentile is an under the radar receiver out of Viera High, last season he finished with 22 catches for 383 yards, averaged 17 yards per catch with two touchdown catches. Dual sport athlete that also runs track. I expect Gentile to be one of the best receivers in his district in 2022.

He can play on either side of the ball at the next level, and chipped in with 30 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception on the defensive side of the ball.
