Football
Graduated: 1988
You meet football players in the funniest places. Head coach Gordie Gillespie, when forming his initial team back in 1986, met one of his first recruits carrying a load of bricks into the building which would eventually become the CSF Recreation Center. If Gillespie would have only known back then what this construction worker would develop into three years down the road, he might have hired the whole group of site workers. Capodice, a cornerback/free safety, is not only a three-time NAIA All-American, but ranks as the top player in the nine-year history of the program. Coincidentally, he also becomes the first inductee from the gridiron. And, of course, his name can be found throughout the defensive record books starting with the top spot for most solo tackles in a career (82), which is equal to the mark set by linebacker Mike Feminis, who tallied his 82 such stops in four seasons. The 245 total tackles that Capodice amassed, meanwhile, ranks third on the all-time list. He's also tied with Jim Seput, another four-year vet who helped inaugurate the program, for the most career knockdowns (23). Capodice's eight interceptions in 1987 rank first, as well, while the 16 for his career place second behind Seput. Four times during his career, Capodice recorded two-interception games, including the day he was honored for his first All-American award. In a 50-14 rout of Alma (MI) that day, besides the two picks, he recovered two fumbles, one of which set up a score and the other one to credit six points to his own name, and blocked a punt, to go along with five tackles. "An All-American Day for an All-American player," said Gillespie that day. "What more can you say about him?"
