From the coaching staff:
"Dante was a four-year member of our program. His speed and drive were his strengths. He could play on either side of the field, right or left, and that is a quality not every player has. He played hard every day and fought through a number of injuries without missing a lot of time. He is a quiet person by nature but every now and again I would catch him letting out a very funny response to some banter that was going around. Dante was a great example for our younger players." - April 2020

What others say:
"Cool, calm and collected." - April 2020

"He's always involved with the team on and off the field. One of the funniest guys to have in the locker room." - April 2020

"Dante was one of the more quiet seniors in the beginning but every time he had something to say it was either hilarious or helpful. Because of the positions that we play I got to either play right next to him or face against him and he was always giving me tips along the way no matter which side he was on." - April 2020
