Defensive back Rich Stanzione, a native of Washington Township, New Jersey arrived on The Flats last year after spending time at FCS Stenson University where he appeared in 22 games for the Hatters over the 2016 and 2017 seasons. For the Hatters, he was a strong reserve and starter at different points of his two seasons and had several impressive games including a 15-tackle performance against Dartmouth.
Stanzione is off to a greats start this fall camp so far and has been an impact player in the secondary. Within the first two days of fall camp, Stanzione showed his ballhawk ability, with two turnovers in the first two practices.
