New Jersey City University Athletics

Two-time first-team All-New Jersey Collegiate Athletic Conference guard, Dennis Cunningham is recognized as the best offensive lineman on a couple of the best football teams in Jersey City State College history. The only unanimous choice on the 1972 All – NJCAC team, Cunningham dominated at both strong and weak side guard, blocking for current JCSC Athletic Hall of Famers Bruce Naszimento and Joe Di Vincenzo. The Gothics chalked up record offensive numbers during Cunningham’s junior and senior seasons with many of the marks still in the record book. He lettered four times on a team which had a combined record of 25-9. He was listed among Who’s Who In American Colleges and Universities and served as an assistant coach at JCSC in 1973. He earned his bachelor of arts from the college in 1977. Cunningham is married to JCSC graduate Denise Agresti and they have two sons. Derek is 13 years of age and is active in football and wrestling. Devon is seven and plays baseball and soccer. The senior Cunningham remains active in coaching football and baseball in Montvale recreational leagues.
