The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program signed former University of Georgia offensive lineman Josh Cardiello today.
UTC head football coach Russ Huesman during the Mocs’ spring football scrimmage Friday, March 28, 2014, at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn.The 6-foot-3, 293-pounder, who prepped at Buford, was a three-star prospect and ranked as the No. 5 center in the nation prior to signing with the Bulldogs in 2013. He redshirted for a season, then played in one game last year.
He’ll have three seasons of eligibility remaining, and will be on campus this weekend.
“He’s a great get for us,” UTC head coach Russ Huesman said. “He’s a great kid from a fantastic family. We’re heard nothing but positives from Georgia about him. I think he can come in and compete.”
Cardiello is expected to add to an offensive line group that is solid, but young and inexperienced beyond the starters.
