This season, he led the NE10 in yards (969), yards per game (96.9), receptions (63), receptions per game (6.3) and touchdowns (10). In seven NE10 games, Papallo totaled league-highs with 42 receptions and 692 yards for a 98.9 yard per game average with eight touchdowns. He registered five-straight 100-yard games to close the season while also scoring a touchdown in his last six games of the year, with nine in total.

He finished his final year in New Haven as the sixth receiver in SCSU Football history to record 10 receiving touchdowns in a season.
