October 26, 2023/in Football, Player Profile/by Quinn Puskar

POLAND, OH – Vince Zuccaro and Caden Dennis are two remarkable seniors who have left an indelible mark on the Poland Bulldogs football team. As the starting left tackle, Vince Zuccaro’s imposing presence on the offensive line has been instrumental in the team’s success. His commitment to his position and his teammates has earned him the respect of both players and coaches alike. With his exceptional blocking skills and strong work ethic, Vince has been a key player in the Bulldogs’ offense, providing vital protection for the quarterback and opening up running lanes for his teammates.

Caden Dennis, also a senior, has shown incredible resilience and a deep love for the game of football. While an unfortunate injury sidelined him for the season, Caden’s commitment to his team has not wavered. Instead, he has transitioned into the role of a student-assistant coach, offering his knowledge and experience to support his fellow teammates from the sidelines. Caden’s football IQ and passion for the sport have made him an invaluable asset to the coaching staff and players alike. His ability to provide insights and guidance during practices and games has been a testament to his dedication to the Bulldogs, exemplifying that true leadership extends beyond the playing field.
