Manny Belluccia enters his second year as a graduate assistant for Otterbein in the fall of 2023. He coached the defensive line in his first season while also helping oversee administrative aspects of the program.
Belluccia came to Westerville after spending one season in the same role at Bethel University in McKenzie, Tenn. He helped the Wildcats play to a 7-4 record while mentoring standout Jared Gentry, who was later signed by the Vegas Night Hawks of the Indoor Football League.
A 2021 graduate from The University of Tampa, Belluccia earned his bachelor’s degree in sport management and will now be pursuing his master’s of business administration (MBA).
Also a Tampa native, Belluccia served as a defensive line coach at local Jefferson High School as well. There, his team won a district championship and made the regional final.
He and his wife, Madison, now live nearby in Worthington.
