Bio
Major: Pre-Engineering & Business Management
Rocco Cimino is a Pre-Engineering and Business Management major who brings passion and energy to Union both on and off the field. His favorite thing about Union is the soccer program, which allows him to pursue what he loves most every day.
Inspired by his father, Rocco’s dream job is to become a constructor, following in his family’s footsteps while building a strong future for himself. His favorite subject in high school was math, and his soccer icon is the ever-skillful Neymar Jr.
He stays fueled with coconut water, and when traveling, his go-to snack is gummies. His favorite meal is a simple and satisfying combo of meat and rice, and he stays active on Instagram and TikTok.
On the team, Rocco considers himself the funny one, always keeping spirits high. He wants to be remembered for scoring plenty of goals and making his mark on the field.
His second-best sport is baseball, but soccer will always be his number one passion.
