SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Linebacker Mark Restelli has earned a spot on the roster of the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos and will start in the season opener next week.
Ten players were cut Wednesday as the Eskimos pared their roster to the 46-player limit.
On Tuesday the Eskimos closed out their preseason schedule with a 31 - 19 victory over the British Columbia Lions. Restelli recorded four tackles and a forced fumble.
A week earlier, Restelli make a strong impression in his first professional football game, recording an interception and three tackles in Edmonton's 45-12 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Edmonton opens its 2009 regular season next Thursday (July 2) against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Edmonton.
Restelli notched 267 career tackles in his four-year Mustang career, No. 9 all-time at Cal Poly. As a senior, Restelli was third in tackles with 54 and also recorded five pass breakups, three quarterback hurries, one interception and one fumble recovery.
Restelli, who intercepted three passes in his Mustang career, was Cal Poly’s top tackler as a junior in 2007 with 73 stops (40 solo). He also had four pass breakups, three quarterback hurries, a blocked field goal, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery which he returned 33 yards to set up a touchdown at Texas State.
Restelli had 57 tackles as a sophomore and returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown against Weber State. As a redshirt freshman in 2005, he was third on the team with 83 total tackles, including a career-high 12 tackles against both Northern Colorado and Texas State. He intercepted a pass in the Southern Utah game.
Restelli never missed a game in his four-year Mustang career.
