Hear the term “FOGO” and a mental picture of a vertically-challenged wrestler type with a mean clamp and a pit bull -like, relentless pursuit of ground balls may come to mind. Tommy resembles this image fittingly: he has the ideal build to do battle in the trenches of the faceoff-X as well as the never-surrender will to fight for every last ball. Both of his knees have recovered from meniscus surgery and he has prepared himself to have a senior year that will define him as one of the toughest faceoff specialists.
