Francesco Biancamano (born March 12, 1976) is an Italian former gridiron football player.[1] [2]
Biancamano, the son of Vincenzo and Vincenza Biancamano, immigrants from Sassano, Italy, arrived in the United States in the late 1970s. Growing up in Huntington Station, New York, Biancamano didn't start playing football until his sophomore year and track and field until his senior year for Walt Whitman High School. He played wide receiver, corner back, punter, and placekicker on the football team and averaged over 40 yards per kick. Biancamano received multiple offers from Division I, IAA, and II universities to play football and run track.
Biancamano attended Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), where he majored in sports medicine and exercise physiology. A four-year starter for the Southern Connecticut Owls as a kicker/punter and a 4-year long/triple jumper, Biancamano holds multiple school records in football and track and field.[3]
After college, Biancamano played in the National Football League (NFL) with the New York Giants (preseason),[4] Denver Broncos (preseason), Dallas Cowboys (preseason),[5] [6] [7] Cleveland Browns (preseason), and also two seasons in NFL Europe for the Amsterdam Admirals (1999–2000). He was also drafted 294th overall by the San Francisco Demons in the XFL.[8] [9]
Biancamano resides in Long Island with his wife Paige, two sons Vinny and Lance, and daughter Genevieve.
