...and get well card at the top of the page. As I recall, Church was a one star sleeper LB out of high school. He has been as solid of a citizen, student and football player as anyone could expect.
It seems like Church made plays every time he was on the field. It's a shame he isn't going to make it on the field for the Orange Bowl.
Marcello Church - one great Seminole!!!!

I 2nd that. That guy is all over the field and I wish him a speedy recovery

Church is a great testament to hard work. The way he came off the edge this year he may have an NFL future as a rush linebacker.

I can tell you with great confidence that at least one NFL team is looking at him.

Great Job Marcello. Thank You for all your hard work and dedication to this team. Get Well.

Mr. Church, this season you were one of the best pass rushing LBs I've ever seen. Thank you for your committment and passion for FSU football. One of the highest compliments I can pay you is that I never saw one person on any warchant message board say anything other than "Marcello is the man."

Marcello, thanks for being a true Seminole. You always represented FSU like a gentleman and a warrior. Good luck and I hope you get well soon.

As a fan, it's difficult to know what goes on behind the scenes or what type of character a player actually possesses. That said, it always looked like you were one of those guys that had a constant motor and a huge heart. It's understandable how difficult it can be to see the field with so many terrific players at your position, but what you showed our fanbase all those Fall Saturdays was a young guy who cared about his teammates and left everything he had on the field. Thanks for all your hard work and good luck with all your future endeavors...with a continued passionate approach, success will find you.

Thanks for all the BIG plays Marcello. We need more players like you on and off the field in G&G.

Marcello- There is not a single player on this team that makes more of his time on the field than you. We will REALLY miss you in the Orange Bowl. Coach your linebacker brothers up, and always remember that you are NOLE!

Marcello,
Thanks for everything man! You kick ass!!! We're gonna miss your presence. You don't get the accolades of some of the other LB's on the team, but you guys are a unit and without you, the unit wouldn't be complete! GET WELL SOON!
Posted on 12/6 6:06 PM | IP: Logged
Great job Marcello! We appreciate you putting everything on the field whenever you play. You are a consistant playmaker and a great representative of FSU on and off the field. I'll keep you in my prayers and hope that you have a speedy recovery. Also wishing you the best in whatever do in the future in and outside the game of football. Thanks again and best wishes.

Thanks for everything Marcello! I remember when you were just a pup. Wearing #66 I believe and I thought who is this kid all over the field? My buddy and I noticed from section 14, get well soon.

Marcello, Thank you for all your bllod sweat and tears! You are epitome of a FSU LB and your presence on the field will surely be missed. My family and I would like to wish you a quick recovery and best of luck in all your future ventures.

Marcello has been an outstanding player for us. I know he has not been a "starter" but it sure seems he was all over the field making all kinds of plays. Thank you for being a true Nole. You will be deeply missed in the Orange Bowl. I am convinced you will excel at the next level.

Thanks for all the hard work Mr. Church. We were honored to have you as a Seminole the last 4 years. Thanks for all the memories and hope to see you at the next level. Heal up....
Posted on 12/6 8:23 PM | IP: Logged
One of the most unselfish, team oriented players we have. Could have started anywhere else, but stayed here, because he is a Nole. Get well soon, and sign with the Dolphins!

Was it three years ago that Marcello had that big game filling in against VT in the bowl game? I'll always remember that.
Thanks Marcello and good luck in whatever you decide to do in the future.

Thanks Marcello. You gave it your all--you'll always be a Nole. Now recover quick! Can't wait to see you creating mayhem on Sundays...

Marcello--
Thank you for leaving it all on the field. We, as fans, don't get the opportunity to tell you guys how much we appreciate you busting your butts out there for us week in and week out...
This is one fan that has the utmost respect and admiration for you. You worked your rear off, did what was asked of you, and kept out of trouble. Oh yeah, and you were a heck of an LB too.
I'm gonna miss seeing you fly all over the field down in the O-Bowl...but I'll enjoy seeing your smile on the sideline.
Good luck in the recovery and go show those NFL'ers what being a Nole is all about.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the time you put into FSU. Thank you even more for playing IM basketball on my team. It was a few years back when you and AD came out and played. I'll never forget that and it's a story I will always have. Ever since then, you've always been a favorite. Best of luck with everythings

Marcello,
What an outstanding football player. Came to play every week, didn't need to talk up his game, just showed it on the field. You make everyone who puts on the Garnet and Gold proud. Heal fast and I hope to see you on Sundays. You are a TRUE GARNET and GOLD SEMINOLE....

Marcello,
You were and always will be a great Seminole. You never complained that you weren't starting at times, even though you could have probably started at so many other schools. Every time you came onto the field, you gave it your all. Thanks for playing your heart out for the university, the team, and for the fans. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery from your injury and best of luck to you in the future, whatever it holds for you.

Congrats on the great year #39. Knowing the fact that FSU had two preseason all americas at linebacker, if all the linebackers decided not wear #'s on their jerseys, i bet most of the public would have guessed that you were one of the two. You have as good an argument as anybody on this team for MVP.
Good Luck and Go Noles
