Daluiso, who attended Grossmont College in 1987 and 1988, was a kicker for 10 seasons with the Buffalo Bills (1991), Denver Broncos (1992) and New York Giants (1993-2000). He retired in 2000 as the Giants’ all-time, most-accurate kicker, and is the second all-time leading scorer in the team’s history. He played in Super Bowl XXVI with the Bills and in Super Bowl XXXV with the Giants. In 2000, Daluiso was awarded the Ed Block Courage Award, presented to the team member displaying exemplary leadership, courage and community service.
Today, Daluiso is a financial planning specialist and financial advisor with the Scott Group at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. In 2003, Daluiso was inducted into the Grossmont College’s Walk of Fame, a permanent, on-campus display of bronze plaques embedded in concrete located in front of the library in the Main Quad area that feature names of distinguished Grossmont College alumni.
