As a freshman at Michigan, he scored 21 points, including 12 goals, in 33 games. [7] That season he missed eight games due to a leg injury.

[10] One of the highlights of the season occurred when he scored the first three goals of the game in the first period (the first two within 24 seconds of each other) for the natural hat trick against Michigan Tech on December 27, 2008. [15] During the first half of the season, he led the nation in goals scored.

In Caporusso's junior season, he posted 21 goals and 22 assists.

[22] Michigan entered the CCHA playoffs with a 19–17–1 record and was on the verge of breaking the team's nineteen consecutive year streak of qualifying for the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. However, the team won six consecutive games in the conference championship tournament to earn the automatic invitation. [23] Caporusso scored both goals in the final 2–1 victory of the tournament and was named to the All-Tournament team. [24] He also scored in the second period of the first game of the tournament to give Michigan a 2–0 lead. [25] [26] However, Michigan lost in the quarterfinal round in double overtime to the CCHA regular season champion Miami Redhawks. [27] [28]
