A look at the 2025 Rams’ Front Line of Defense



Bronx, N.Y. – As we approach the start of week three of the 2025 Fordham football camp we continue our position-by-position breakdown of the Rams, highlighting the first line of defense, the defensive line.
 
The Fordham defensive line returns a wealth of experience, returning three of the four starters from 2024, led by senior Claudy Robinson. Last year Robinson earned All-Patriot League honors, starting all 12 games and recording 37 total tackles, 13 solo, including 6.0 tackles for loss and one sack.
 
Other returning starters on the defensive line for the Rans are senior Sam Buerkle, who started all 12 games at defensive tackle, registering 41 total tackles, 16 solo, including 8.0 for loss and 2.0 sacks, and junior John Scott III, who started all 12 games at Buck as a sophomore, recording 44 total tackles, 24 solo, including 6.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks.
 
Other veterans back for the Rams include seniors Peter Chalhoub, who saw action in eleven games as a junior, making 13 total tackles, six solo, including 1.5 for loss, Colby Spencer, who appeared in all 12 games as junior, compiling 16 total tackles, five solo, including 1.5 for loss and 0.5 sacks, and Michael Thorn, who played in ten games as a junior, making 15 total tackles, seven solo.

The defensive line will also be bolstered by the return of graduate student Jack Low, who missed last year with an injury after starting five games on the line in 2023, and senior Chris Tuck II, who was limited by injury to four games as a junior, both on the defensive line and special teams.

Juniors returning to the defensive line include Aiden Jeter, who appeared in four games as a sophomore in 2024, and Kevin Nizolek, who did not see action last fall.

 

Sophomore returnees include Cole Nelson, who saw action in four games as a freshman; Carter Hess, who appeared in nine games as a freshman, making 13 tackles; Mardale Rowe, who appeared in one game last year; and Owen Theoharides and Phillip Kunkel-Quesada, who did not see action as a rookie.

 

Newcomers to the defensive line include Tyler Davis, who helped Erasmus Hall to the 2023 PSAL AAAA Championship; Lorenzo Riddick, a 2024 All-State performer at Long Island Lutheran; Marco DeCroce, a First Team All-League selection at Northern Valley Demarest; James Dunnemann II, a 2024 First Team All-Conference pick at Seton Hall Prep; and Cole Siegel

 

Fordham opens the 2025 season on Saturday, August 30, when the Rams travel to Boston College for a 2:00 p.m. contest. Join your fellow Ram fans in a pregame reception prior to the game.

 

Season and individual game tickets for the 2025 home season are now on sale through the Fordham Athletic Ticket Office.

The Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament, the second-largest event of its kind globally, kicked off last week. The only larger tournament is held in Venice, Italy.

The tournament, which began as a fundraiser for a new lifeguard tower, has grown exponentially from its humble beginnings with just four courts to now featuring over 230 courts.

Organizers attribute the event’s massive growth over the past 40 years to its popularity and the community’s continued support.

In response to the increasing number of teams wanting to participate, the tournament will expand to five days in 2026 to better manage logistics and accommodate more teams.
