Chris Iuliano

Fall of 2023 Evaluation

Prime Time is absolutely loaded in the 2025 class, and it’s Iuliano that projects as the team’s top college prospect. A big, strong, powerful defenseman, he simply engulfs opponents and has the footwork to match up with the smaller, shiftier types, too.

“Iuliano’s the top close defenseman,” one ACC assistant said. “He covers well, he picks off a ton of passes and he has great length.

Iuliano relishes the challenge of taking on opponents’ top attackman. He can erase top-end guys and also take the ball away from them.

Spring of 2023 Evaluation

A 6-2, 175-pounder who covers everybody’s No. 1 attackman, Iuliano had an excellent NLF at IMG campaign, picking up All-Star honors. He has terrific footwork and can stick with smaller attackmen, but also has the strength and power to go up against bigger scoring threats. Iuliano slides by trying to go through guys, not to just stop them, and is very good at putting the ball on the ground. A starter for Rye this year, he has vast upside and looks like a prototypical No. 1 defenseman at the next level.
