Splendorio was voted to Cornell’s All-Time Football Team by the Cornell Football Association in 2003. A three-time All-Ivy selection, he was named to the first team in 1999, second team in 1998 and honorable mention in 2000. He is the current Cornell record holder for most receiving yard in a game (204 yards on 11 catches at Brown in 1999, the first Cornellian to post a 200-yard receiving game) and for most career touchdown passes caught (20). Splendorio posted 2,337 receiving yards, currently second all-time at Cornell. He also had nine 100-yard games, which is second to Eric Krawczyk’s record of 10. Splendorio graduated with a record of 165 receptions, which is currently third all-time. As a junior, he was the co-recipient of the Pop Warner Player of the Year team award (shared with Ricky Rahne ‘02) and took home the Stone Travel “Big Play” and Victor Grohmann awards for academic and athletic proficiency after catching 65 passes for 944 yards and 10 touchdowns. Splendorio was a two-time recipient of the Offensive Red Helmet award (1998 and 2000). A team co-captain in 2000, he was a three-time letter winner. Splendorio had four career blocked kicks, including fourth quarter blocks against Harvard in consecutive years to help the Big Red top the Crimson.
