High school Class of 2020 graduate Dylan Rigo was recently awarded the John Gagliano Memorial Scholarship due to his outstanding academic and athletic achievements and exemplary service to the East Islip Youth Football League organization. Rigo, an All-County running back/linebacker, served as East Islip’s team captain and earned a county championship in 2016.
On Aug. 10, just a few days before leaving to attend Utica College, Rigo was visited by EIYFL directors Tom Costarelli and Henry Nunez, who presented him with the scholarship certificate.
“Throughout his entire football career, Dylan has always made our East Islip community proud of both his success in the classroom as well as on the football field,” Costarelli and Nunez said. “Most importantly, he has always returned to his East Islip Youth Football roots to help out. We wish Dylan all the best as he embarks on the next chapter in his college football career.”
