Named a Bergen County Junior Football League All-Star in 2025

Like fellow incoming Bergen Catholic freshman Gavin Anderson Gavin Anderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB/LB Bergen Catholic | 2030 NJ , the Crusaders are getting another stud in both football and wrestling, in Nico Santoli Nico Santoli 5'7" | 150 lbs | LB/RB Bergen Catholic | 2030 NJ . Santoli has an interesting back story and deep ties to the Bergen County institution. Before the age of two, he was diagnosed with -and later beat– Unilateral Retinoblastoma, a rare childhood Cancer of the eye. An emotional feat that is well documented by the way his parents helped raise awareness about the disease. His Dad, Dominic, was the 1998-1999 New Jersey Defensive Player of the Year at Bergen Catholic and currently coaches football at the school, in addition to serving as the Head Coach of the Wrestling program. As that pertains to Nico now, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. He was one of five Cards selected for the BCJFL All-Star Game this past season and was nothing short of stellar on both sides of the ball in that game.

2025 Team: Westwood Cardinals

Active Linebacker/Running Back that had a notable presence on both sides of the ball for the Red All-Stars. Between multiple Tackles for Loss, fumble recoveries and other big plays, the starting Linebacker was clearly a standout defensively. On the other side of the ball, he found the end zone twice in the game. His first score of the day came with his legs in the opening quarter, only to be outdone in the final quarter of the game, when he was on the receiving end of a knock out blow 46-yard catch and run. Additionally, while it won’t show up on the (non-existent) stat sheet, he made a number of big blocks and other effort plays.
