A three-time academic All-Ohio Athletic Conference selection, he was also a teammate of former Las Vegas Raiders head coach and then-John Carroll wide receiver Josh McDaniels and Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher.

In 2002, Caserio served as an offensive coaching assistant coach for the Patriots before shifting back to the scouting department in 2003.
