Tommy O’Boyle • 1940 • Guard
Guard Tommy O’Boyle became an All-American in 1940, but his playing days at Tulane would be just the start of his career on Willow Street. After graduating in December 1940, O’Boyle elected to return to Tulane as an assistant coach for the 1941 season instead of pursuing a pro career (he was drafted by the Chicago Bears). O’Boyle returned to the Tulane staff in 1946 and 1961 and was named head coach prior to the 1962 season, a position he held for four years. He was inducted into the Tulane Athletic Hall of Fame in 1979 and resides in Kansas City, Mo. |
