He s been doing it his entire life. His father, Alfred Gizzi, is on the coaching staff at Baldwin Wallace College, a Division III school in Ohio.<br>Gizzi s also mentally tough. During preseason practice he got a cut on the bridge of the nose.  It s been a mess, says Gizzi.  It was just a little cut that started the second week of August, the first day of hitting, and from then on it was kind of dormant for a while, then it exploded and it s been bleeding all over me during the game. Right now there are 20 internal and external stitches; my total is getting close to 80. <br>Jim Conboy has been the head athletic trainer of the Academy since 1955, and he explained why the cut has been such a problem.  It s hard to stop these cuts when you get them under the helmet, says Conboy.  The trouble is you can t put anything over the cut without affecting the vision we ve tried many things, and we re still trying. Of course, if he didn t play against CSU we could have taken the stitches out, but I d hate to have been the guy who would have to tell Gizzi he couldn t play! <br>In his 42 years with the team Conboy has seen many great football players, and he gives Gizzi the highest praise.  He s one of the best ever, and fits the mold of all the good ones we ve had. McCombs agrees,  We ve been fortunate around here to have had many great linebackers Terry Maki, Steve Russ, Brian Hill and Gizzi is right in there he s one of those great linebackers. <br>Although he has certainly earned the respect of his coaches and teammates, it wasn t always that way.  I remember coming in here and just wanting to contribute to the team, says Gizzi, who turns 23 in March.  I wasn t heavily recruited by a lot of schools, and the Academy gave me a chance. I wanted to do my best, and I m pleased with the way things have gone. <br>One factor that helped him achieve his accomplishments was a strong base strength that he built at Cleveland St. Ignatius High School in his hometown of Brunswick, Ohio. The school is a perennial high school powerhouse and was ranked by USA Today as number one. It has a great program by Chuck Kyle, and Gizzi has nothing but fond memories of his high school athletic career.  We pretty much follow the BFS program, with plyos Monday and Friday. It was a tremendous program that helped me form good habits that I ve been able to build upon. <br>When asked if he wanted to recognize any majo
