Bio
PERSONAL — Born Dante Santiago Rosario on Oct. 25, 1984 in Beaverton, Ore. Parent: Pedro Rosario. Family: Two brothers, two sisters. High School (Coach): Dayton (Dewey Sullivan) 2003. Major: Political Science.
HIGH SCHOOL — The 2002 Oregon 2A state defensive player of the year earned first-team all-state honors on both offense and defense in 2002 while leading the Pirates to the state title. Ranked as the No. 6 linebacker on the West Coast by SuperPrep after posting 144 tackles (75 unassisted) and three quarterback sacks as a free safety/middle linebacker to go along with 1,238 yards rushing in 2002. The West Valley League standout also scored 27 offensive touchdowns in addition to returning three of five interceptions into the end zone and two punts for TDs. Paced his team to a 56-6 victory over Jefferson early his senior year, turning two of his three carries at running back into touchdowns in addition to returning a punt 52 yards for another score and dominating play on defense. The natural athlete ran for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore in only his second season of organized football while the four-year letterman also excelled in basketball for the school’s two-time defending state champions.
OREGON — Only a tremendous athlete could have made the transition from fullback to the line of scrimmage as effortlessly as the standout who has been instrumental in program’s offensive success since playing in all 13 games as a true freshman. And only last year’s return of team’s all-conference tight end prevented Rosario from making a bigger splash in 2005 at his new position. Now that he won’t have to split time with an incumbent, great things are expected from a talent described by a 38-year coaching veteran as the finest athlete he has ever coached. Originally recruited as a linebacker, he brings great leadership and toughness to the program, with his athleticism epitomized by his 12 career touchdowns and 14 special teams tackles. Has always been an accomplished receiver, possessing great hands and developing a knack for finding the open seam in the secondary, but improved significantly as a blocker at the point of attack as last year wore on. Also blessed with quick feet and solid change of direction bursts. Despite his value from either the line of scrimmage or at H-back, again will be counted on to be a mainstay on the majority of special teams.
2005 — His adaptation to a new position and role weren’t difficult due to his natural abilities and attitude. His versatility was demonstrated by his 13-yard reception at Washington State while equalling the team’s most special teams tackles (2) in the same game. Played in all 12 games, including 74 snaps at Arizona State, while catching passes in 10 of them. Snagged a season-best three catches vs. Montana while hauling in scoring receptions at Houston and Stanford. Eleven of his 15 receptions resulted in either first downs or touchdowns. Finished third on the team in special teams tackles (11), including three in the regular-season finale vs. Oregon State. Also recovered a fumble vs. USC.
2004 — Made the most of the limited opportunities he touched the football, scoring a team-high eight touchdowns in 35 chances. Rushed for 29 yards and one score on 10 tries, yet proved to be a more dangerous threat as a receiver out of the backfield. Caught a career-high seven passes for 64 yards and one TD at Oklahoma while making five receptions for 60 yards and two touchdowns against Indiana. Posted unassisted tackles at Washington State, Arizona and California. Chosen team’s offensive player of the week for play in opener against Indiana.
2003 — The fact that his athletic background was grounded on a smaller school level only made the extent of his immediate contribution that much more gratifying. Carried the ball 17 times — the most by an Oregon fullback in seven seasons — and picked up his first career touchdown vs. Stanford. Rushed six times for 29 yards vs. California and picked up his second career touchdown when he caught a 15-yard pass and powered his way into the end zone vs. Oregon State. Ended the season on a high note vs. Minnesota in the Sun Bowl with three catches for 36 yards and a score. Was awarded team’s Len Casanova Award as its top newcomer.
