An alumnus of both Gilmer High School and its football program, Tyler Bertolini has been hired on to Reinhardt’s Strength and Conditioning program.

According to Cherokee County news sources, Bertolini will take the Coordinator position replacing Ellis Spratlin, the two-year veteran coordinator.

Many of Gilmer’s citizens will recall Bertolini running up numbers in September of 2012 when he won FYN’s Player of the Week award for 132 yards rushing with an average of 7.8 yards per carry and scoring a touchdown.

That award came almost one year after being injured during an October game in 2011.

Bertolini has also previously worked in strength and conditioning for Kennesaw State and LSU, but returns to the North Georgia area to continue his career with Reinhardt University.
