Honestly speaking, I am unsure how the North Jersey non-publics have not services the services of Dean Mangiocavallo Dean Mangiocavallo 6'3" | 300 lbs | DL Randolph | 2025 State NJ – which as an unabashed public school football fan, I commend our #8 defensive lineman for riding it out with his boys for one-last go. What separates Mangiocavallo from most defensive linemen is how low and hard he fires out – a tribute to both his twitchiness and his ability to bend. This tremendous pad level allows him to routinely play with his hands above his eyes as he engages with his pressure key. These two attributes, along with requisite strength, leg drive, and hip activation, allow him to jolt offensive linemen’s heads into whiplash. Understanding how to play leverage, Mangiocavallo finishes off a turned opponent with a strong rip towards the play. We see a sudden burst when in pursuit of the ball carrier and max effort when trailing a play in pursuit. For someone 290lbs he runs very fast for a man his size, while also using proper leverage whe tackling. As a defensive line coach I may just be knit-picking here, but Mangiocavallo gets a little bit too wide when squeezing and I would like to see him be more physical with traps or kick-outs. Likely a schematic decision due to Randolph’s defense, I think that Mangiocavallo has the ability and physicality to play the dent technique extremely well when spilling. As per his Twitter profile, Mangiocavallo has committed to Georgetown.
