Iaquinta will live his dream of playing college football

From the moment he first stepped onto the field, it has always been senior Victor Iaquinta’s dream to play football at the collegiate level.

Now he can live that dream by playing Division II football at Mercyhurst University.

“I can’t wait to go to Mercyhurst and I just love to play the sport of football,” Iaquinta said.

Iaquinta’s inspiration for choosing Mercyhurst goes further than just how good the football program is. One of his Baldwin coaches, Doug Altavilla, played football at Mercyhurst, giving him more reason to want to play for that university and succeed as a player, Iaquinta said.

Even after being accepted to Mercyhurst, Iaquinta has aspirations beyond playing football at the collegiate level.

“I have always been passionate for the sport of football and even hope to go to the NFL after Mercyhurst,” Iaquinta said.

Beyond playing football, Iaquinta plans to study special education at Mercyhurst.
