The Legnano Frogs have bolstered their offensive arsenal for the 2026 Italian Football League season, officially signing dynamic American playmaker Luke Caliendo, a versatile wide receiver and return specialist from North Babylon, New York.
A versatile offensive threat
The 5’11”, 190-pound athlete brings immediate flexibility to Legnano’s scheme, capable of lining up at wide receiver, running back, or even defensive back if needed. Caliendo arrives after a standout collegiate career at the State University of New York Maritime College (NCAA Div. III), where he left a significant mark. During the 2024 season, he scored 11 touchdowns and helped lead the Privateers to their first-ever postseason victory in program history. Over his 17-game college career with Maritime College, he accumulated 1,886 all-purpose yards, 94 receptions for 1,052 yards, and 16 total touchdowns while also contributing 577 kick return yards.
Elevating the Frogs’ offense
Caliendo’s well-rounded skill set, refined further at the prestigious Long Island Wide Receiver Academy, provides the Frogs with a reliable target and a potential game-breaker in both the passing game and special teams as they prepare for their IFL campaign.
