Former Hingham High School quarterback and safety Joe Spaziani is the first-year long snapper for the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League.

Former Hingham High School quarterback and safety Joe Spaziani is in his first season as the long snapper for the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts.

A recent tweet from Harbormen Football (@HHSFootballFans) extended Spaziani “congratulations and good luck” wishes.

The 23-year-old Spaziani is the son of Frank Spaziani, the head football coach at Boston College from 2009-2012 who is now the defensive coordinator at New Mexico State.

Selected in the sixth round of the 2019 CFL Draft, the 6-foot-2, 226-pound Spaziani (No. 52 in your program) played at the University of Virginia, serving as the Cavaliers’ long snapper for the last 2-1/2 seasons of his college career.

Spaziani threw for more than 2,200 yards with 15 touchdowns while rushing for another 14 over his final two years at Hingham High.

At 1-6 this year, the Argonauts are struggling, but they are coming off their first win of the season, a 28-27 upset of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last Thursday night.

The Argos are quarterbacked by 31-year-old McLeod Bethel-Thompson, who was a member of the Patriots’ practice squad for a short time in September of 2014.
