Blue-collar Vandal with a special-teams edge
Tom Hennessey’s most compelling trait is his grind: he walked on at Idaho, earned a scholarship, and carved out a role through special teams and depth work in the secondary rather than flash. Idaho coverage also notes he was trusted as special-teams captain and respected for his persistence, a strong sign of toughness, buy-in, and locker-room value. He fits best for a team that wants a dependable, physical, high-motor safety who embraces hidden-yardage work and won’t need coddling to stay engaged.
