Former SMCHS Class of 2003 Alum and Cal Poly linebacker Mark Restelli heads north to Canadian Football League. Restelli signed a two-year contract with the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos. After a recent tryout camp in Long Beach, Restelli said, the Eskimos offered him a contract on the spot. Restelli, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound four-year starter at Cal Poly, had 54 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery last season. At San Jose State’s pro day March 20, he ran a 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds and posted a vertical jump of 39½ inches. “I’m a little disappointed no NFL teams gave me a chance,” he said. “But if I do well for two years, I’ll have an opportunity to make a switch.” Of course, one switch will be more immediate. “It’s going to be odd going from hot Southern California weather,” the Trabuco Canyon native said. “But it seems like a great opportunity. I’m really excited.” Edmonton opens the season July 2 by hosting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
