NUNZIO CAMPANILE has been hired as the new tight ends coach for the Syracuse University football program. Campanile joins the Orange after spending the past five seasons at Rutgers, serving in numerous roles including interim stints as head coach and offensive coordinator, but spent most of his time dedicated to the tight ends room. A Paramus Catholic graduate with strong ties across New Jersey, Campanile was an accomplished high school coach before joining the Scarlet Knights, with stints at national powerhouses Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep. “Coach Campanile is a good coach, with twenty plus years of experience coaching here in the northeast,” said head coach Dino Babers. “His ties to the area as a strong recruiter, along with his ability to develop young talent will be welcomed here at Syracuse.” Campanile joined Rutgers for the 2018 season as the running backs coach, before pivoting to tight ends at the start of the 2019 campaign. He’d finish the year as the interim head coach and was the play caller for the final eight games of that season. He returned to his post as tight ends coach at the start of 2020, where he remained through this past season until he added interim offensive coordinator and quarterbacks to his list of duties. Campanile arrived at Rutgers after spending eight seasons as the head coach of Bergen Catholic, where he led the team to the 2017 state championship. One of the nation’s elite high-school programs, Campanile compiled a 60-28 record, while leading the Crusaders. Campanile comes from a football family, having played quarterback and safety for his father, Mike, at Paramus Catholic, before going on to play collegiately at Amherst College in 1995 and 1996. Campanile later transferred to Montclair State, where he graduated in 1999.
