DANTONIO ON PIETROWSKI:
“Jeff Pietrowski comes from St. Edward, an institution that plays the same defense that we do. There's a lot of carryover in that respect. He reminds me of Kenny Willekes in the way he plays: relentless guy, tough, on-the-edge. He was an extremely productive player at St. Edward, and has been productive for quite a while in his high school career. Jeff should be a guy that has an opportunity for immediate contributions as we go.”
