Tom Cichowski (June 13, 1944 - September 17, 2015) was a former professional American football player. ==Biography== Cichowski was born Thomas John Cichowski in New Britain, Connecticut and raised in Southington, Connecticut〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tom Cichowski )〕 He graduated from Southington High School in 1962 and subsequently entered the University of Maryland, College Park, on a full scholarship. From the time he was a high school freshman, he began to make a name for himself as a disciplined, competitive three-sport athlete. At 6’4,” weighing in at 230 pounds, he was a force to be reckoned with in basketball and track, where he once held the shot put record. But it was his artistry on the football field that got him noticed by college and pro scouts. Before he was discovered by them though, he was being groomed in the empire of head coach Dan Sekanovich and Joseph Orsene, who succeeded him in 1961, Cichowski’s senior year. The 18-year-old had been a trusted starting tackle until his senior year rolled around. Before the season began, he convinced Orsene to make him a starting fullback, something Sekanovich had also suggested to the new coach before he departed to join the staff of Susquehanna University. As in his junior year, Cichowski would be a post-season All-State selection. Then it was on to his final season playing basketball as one of five starting seniors. Naturally, Cichowski’s dominance and reliability on the football field caught the eye of colleges from around the country. As he weighed his options in continuing his education, he was courted by the likes of Syracuse, Tennessee and Texas A&M. But his preference was the University of Maryland, College Park, with a football scholarship and the chance to suit up as a Terrapin under coach Tom Nugent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Cichowski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
