Mucciolo Named to 247Sports Transfer All-America Team
December 13, 2023 | Football
Named as one of 11 top offensive transfers, grad student offensive guard Jon Mucciolo was named to 247Sports' 2023 Transfer All-America Team.
Mucciolo started all 12 games for the Cardinals during the 2023 season, after transferring from FCS Sacred Heart where he started 28 of 29 games over the previous four seasons. He was named among five offensive lineman on the Transfer All-America squad, joining Ajani Cornelius of Oregon, Matt Lee of Miami, Ladarius Henderson of Michigan and Luke Kandra of Cincinnati. He was the only player chosen from the MAC and one of just four from Group of 5 conferences.
Said 247Sports: "Offensive line might be the toughest position to recruit out of the transfer portal, as virtually every team could use an extra lineman or two. Ball State did a great job of identifying Mucciolo, who was a multi-year starter at the FCS level. Mucciolo started all 12 games at left guard for the Cardinals, grading as an elite pass-blocker according to Pro Football Focus. He allowed just two pressures and no sacks in over 600 snaps while committing only three penalties. That type of consistency is downright impressive."
