Tom Leahy (1936-39)

Induction:
1993
Class:
1939

Tom Leahy started every game in his four-year football career with the Cardinals. A bruising blocker, he was chosen all-conference as a blocking back in 1939. Leahy was also honored as the Cardinals’ best blocking back as a junior and senior. He also lettered in track as a low hurdler in 1938 and served as an assistant coach for the Cards’ freshman football team in 1940

After graduation, Leahy worked as a chemist, quality control supervisor and industrial hygienist. He was master distiller for A. Smith Bowman Distillery from 1968 through 1989 and served as a consultant to the distillery after retirement.
