After graduating high school in 2018, DiCintio became a Bloodhound and played four years of collegiate basketball for the program finishing his career with 47 wins and 33 loses.  His leadership and dedication earned him the opportunity to be named a co-captain in his senior year by Coach Hyland.  In addition, DiCintio was named to the NABC men’s basketball honors court in 2021 for his outstanding achievement in the classroom.
 
DiCintio comes from a basketball family where his grandfather was inducted to his school’s Hall of Fame as a player, his dad has been a high school boys’ head coach for over two decades and his sister plays on scholarship at Roberts Wesleyan University in Rochester, NY.  DiCintio spends his off season running numerous youth basketball camps in his hometown while working at Planet Fitness and continuing his studies in criminal justice as a graduate student at John Jay College.
