About Dante

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a workhorse and a force to be reckoned with on the football field. I rise up to challenges, and never back down. Where there’s a will, I find a way. I never quit, never stop, and always bring energy to my team. Whether it’s pushing through tough practices or rallying my teammates during a game, I lead with relentless effort and unshakable determination.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My mentality is to work hard, never quit, and always lead by example. As a team captain, I believe it's essential to keep my teammates motivated and focused. I lead through action and a positive attitude, showing commitment and resilience in every situation. By staying driven and encouraging others, I aim to create a strong, unified team culture.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I’m involved in various fundraising events for both my football and wrestling clubs. I was selected as a student leader at the coveted Salesian Leadership retreat 2025.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

The skills I’ve developed reflect hard work, commitment and dedication. I thrive on a rigorous schedule, maintaining honor roll status, while competing athletically at the highest levels in the state. I believe in giving back, and love participating in community service. The Sam Cali Memorial Wrestling Tournament is especially meaningful, as I love to coach and mentor young athletes.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I faced some of the toughest challenges of my career during the 2024/2025 wrestling season. I battled a severe case of mono, but continued competing through the exhaustion, placing 2nd at States. I advanced to Nationals while still recovering and, despite a sprained ACL and torn meniscus, placed 4th. I’m on the mend. The adversity I faced has only made me stronger and more determined than ever.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college/university that challenges me both academically and athletically. An environment where excellence is the standard. I want to be part of a community that values leadership, discipline, and teamwork.

There are a lot of more subtle nuances to the game of Dante DeLuca Dante DeLuca Dante DeLuca 5'10" | 210 lbs | RB/ATH Don Bosco Prep | 2026 State NJ than the naked eye might initially catch – and thus make him a candidate to have a breakout campaign and a bump in the rankings next time out. DeLuca accelerates very well off of his plant foot, propelling himself with a burst to gain yardage. He is also a tough one to bring down, especially when you try to tackle him high given that he is listed as a 210lb back. DeLuca also has a deadly combination of big, strong powerful legs that match with a stiff arm. A threat out of the backfield on screens, he is good at baiting-or-waiting in order to lull the defenders to sleep and make plays. In addition to this, DeLuca has very good vision in the open field, cutting across almost at will. To conclude, DeLuca has also shown to be a capable pass protector, working and grinding, rather than delivering a shot and being done with his block.
