FORMER BRYANT FOOTBALL STANDOUT RALPH SQUITIERI SIGNS WITH MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAM

NEW YORK - The New York Crusaders, a minor league football team, announced recently the signing of former Bryant University standout Ralph Squitieri at the organization's offices in Manhattan. 

A four-year all-conference selection at Bryant University, Squitieri helped anchor one of the nation's most prolific offenses during his career at Bryant from 2004 to 2007.  Bryant's offense ranked among the best in rushing and passing and set several school records while quarterback Charlie Granatell led the country in passing efficiency.

A team captain, Squitieri was named All-New England as a senior by the New England Football Writers in 2007.  During his career, Bryant won two conference titles and advanced to two NCAA playoffs. 

The Crusaders, under the guidance of President J.J. Johnson, are a developmental team for teams in the AFL, Canadian and European leagues.
