Tommy Sweeney was by no means a high-profile recruit in High School. In fact, he was quite the opposite. Sweeney was listed as a 2 star recruit out of Ramsay New Jersey and held no scholarship offers out of High School aside from Boston College. So, naturally, Sweeney decided to opt into the Maroon and Gold and try to make a name for himself in his four years on the Heights. Over the course of those four years, Sweeney became a huge asset in the Eagles’ offense on both the blocking and receiving end.
The climb to Sweeney’s success was based off of two things: Maturation and Persistence.
