Off the field, Washington Township (Sewell, NJ) linebacker/tight end Hugh D’Imperio has a relatively calm personality. Once he hits the football field, things change.

Washington Township head coach Tom Brown says his star linebacker always “arrives in a nasty mood on gameday.” D’Imperio acknowledges that his coach’s statement may be true, and this season things will not be any different.

“Some people say that,” said D’Imperio of his on-the-field persona. “I just get excited. I just can’t wait for this season to start. I’m pumped up. I get to play with my friends who I’ve played with all of my life. And this year I’ll be more of a leader – I’m looking forward to that.”

D’Imperio adds toughness, athleticism, and size to his fierce competitive drive. He is 6-5, 230 pounds, and runs a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash. He plays tight end and linebacker for his school, and is being recruited at a variety of positions by colleges.
