Nick Cappuccio is a name that has become synonymous with excellence in the Northeastern Conference's football scene. However, despite his remarkable achievements on the field, he remains humble and never seeks fame. This is one of the many reasons why his coaches hold him in such high regard. Cappuccio not only excels as a football player, but also carries himself with grace and dignity off the field.
Coach Jon Cadigan describes Cappuccio as one of the most humble players he has ever coached. He is highly respected by his coaches, teammates, and teachers, and it's almost as if he's too good to be true. With 982 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns, Cappuccio had a breakout junior year, earning him Boston Herald All-Scholastic honors. He also proved his mettle in high-pressure games, shining bright when the stakes were high. In fact, he was one of the best players on the field in both games against Div. 6 state championship finalists.
But Cappuccio is not one to rest on his laurels. He set his sights on bigger goals for this season, determined to improve on his previous performance. "I knew I rushed for almost 980 yards, so I want to improve on that," he said. "My goal is always to improve every day." Despite starting the season with a 2-2 record, Cappuccio has shown his versatility, notching more than 300 rushing yards, a touchdown reception, and a kick return for a score. He also excels in the little things that often go unnoticed.
Coach Cadigan praises Cappuccio for his selflessness and leadership on the team. Despite being a star player, Cappuccio is always willing to block for his teammates and do whatever it takes for the team's success. He may not be perfect, but he is always willing to learn from his mistakes and improve. As a senior, he has taken on a more significant role on the team, not just as a top performer, but also as a leader.
Aside from football, Cappuccio is also an elite track star, winning the 100-meters, 200-meters, and long jump at last year's Div. 5 state championship. He credits his success in both sports to each other, with the speed factor and cutting techniques in football helping him in track, and vice versa. He hopes to continue both sports in college, majoring in business with a minor in accounting.
At 18 years old, Cappuccio has already achieved so much, but he remains grounded and focused on his goals. He enjoys math in school and loves to pig out on chicken. When he's not on the field or the track, he enjoys watching the TV show Dexter, the movie Hacksaw Ridge, and listening to Eminem. He also enjoys playing Minecraft and browsing Tiktok on his smartphone, and follows ESPN on Twitter. As a New England native, he naturally supports the New England Patriots and admires Julian Edelman. To prepare for a game, Cappuccio makes sure to stay hydrated, eat a small meal, and listen to music.
With his passion for sports and determination to succeed, it's no surprise that Cappuccio's ultimate goal is to play a sport in college while pursuing a degree in business. And with his talent, hard work, and humility, there's no doubt he will continue to excel both on and off the field.
