Firecats assistant coach proud of his American Indian heritage

DAVID ALBERS

Florida Firecats assistant coach Dominic Bramante, 43, is the newest member of the team's coaching staff. Raised by an Italian adoptive family in New Jersey, Bramante discovered his Native American heritage at the age of 36, subsequently immersing himself in his lost identity. Much of his strength on the football field and as a family man comes from faith he has discovered in his Native American roots.
