Bronx, N.Y. – As the second week of the 2019 Fordham football fall camp begins we continue our position-by-position breakdown of the Rams with a look at the offensive line.
 
Last fall, the Fordham line paved the way for an offense that led the Patriot League in passing offense, averaging 200.7 passing yards/game. However, two starters from that line graduated, leaving the Rams looking for someone to step up and fill the positions.
 
Leading the returning linemen is junior Nick Zakelj, a second team All-Patriot League selection last year when he started all eleven games at left tackle.
 
Also back is sophomore Austin Glazier, who appeared in ten games as a freshman, starting eight at right guard and one at left guard, and sophomore Phil Saleh, who saw action in ten games as a freshman, starting nine at right tackle.
 
Returning juniors include Will Conley, who missed the 2018 season due to injury after appearing in four games as a freshman; and Jake Trautman, who appeared in four games last fall, starting one at left guard and one at right tackle.
 
Also back are sophomores Anthony Marinelli, who saw action in two games as a freshman after an All-State career at DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, N.J.; Kyle Rinsky, who did not see action as a freshman after earning All-Conference honors at Hanover Park High School in East Hanover, N.J.; Fox Fay, who moves from tight end to offensive line in 2019; and Gabriel Jacques, who did not see action as a freshman after being a two-time All-District lineman at Ridge Point High School in Missouri City, Texas.
 
Newcomers to the line include freshmen Wyatt Klawiter, a 2018 First Team All-District selection at Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas; Lucas Portes, who was named one of the Top 40 recruits in Maryland by Rivals at Good Counsel High School in Olney, Maryland; Giovanni Potente, a 2018 Third Team All-State selection at Pope John XXIII High School in Sparta Township, N.J.; Ryan Joyce, a product of Hunterdon Central High School in Flemington, N.J.; Aiden McCarty, a transfer from William & Mary, and Nolan Aloia, who played last year at Mater Dei Prep High School in Middletown, N.J.
