PERSONAL: The oldest of Kimberly and Michael Sarale's two children... Geno is his younger brother... Not many people know that he loves to fish... Earning all-state honors is his proudest personal accomplishment... Favorite facility he competed in is The Corral at Oakdale High School... Chose UC Davis because of the world-class academics, which will help him for life after football.
