Biography

Nunzio Campanile comes to UConn for the 2026 season and will be the offensive coordinator for the Huskies. Campanile spent the last three seasons at Syracuse with the previous two years as the offensive associate head coach and quarterbacks coach for the Orange. In his first season working with the quarterbacks in 2024, the Orange broke or tied 24 different program individual and team passing or total offense records (career, season and single-game) and starting quarterback Kyle McCord finished in the top-10 of Heisman Trophy voting after setting a new ACC single-season passing record. Campanile moved into his role on the offense working with the quarterback after spending the 2023 season coaching tight ends. He also served as the Interim Head Coach for the final two games of the 2023 campaign, where he led the Orange to victory over Wake Forest to secure bowl eligibility for the second year in a row. Campanile elevated McCord’s game to see him leave Syracuse as one of the best quarterbacks in Syracuse and ACC history. In his one season with the Orange, he threw for 4,779 yards on 391 completions, with 34 touchdowns. McCord set new single-season records for completions, attempts (592), yards, touchdown passes, total offense (4,714), 300+ yard games (12), passing touchdowns and touchdowns responsible for (37), among other records. His passing yards total led the nation and passed the likes of Deshaun Watson, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Drake Maye, Jameis Winston and Chris Weinke
