Susquehanna University Athletics

Hank was a standout fullback and linebacker at Ramsey High School in New Jersey. "Hammerin' Hank", also known as "Hank the Tank", was a powerful, punishing runner and four-year starter at fullback at Susquehanna. Upon graduation he held the SU career rushing record with 2,176 yards (still 7th all time) and 550 carries (still 4th all-time) despite playing only 9 game seasons (36 games total). He led the 1983 team to a MAC title (8-0-1), where he was named ECAC Player of the Year, First Team All MAC running back and Division III NCAA Honorable Mention. Hank was inducted into the SU Sports Hall of Fame in 1993 and was named to Susquehanna's Top 100 All Century Football team in 1999.

After graduation from SU in 1984, Hank worked in banking for many years, including for the Bank of America for over 20 years and retired as a Vice President. Hank always enjoyed reconnecting with his SU teammates, coming back for games, golf outings, and other social events prior to his untimely passing in March 2023. 

Hank is remembered as a great teammate and an even better person. After graduation from SU, Hank returned to the Ramsey, NJ area and was involved for many years as a coach in both the Ramsey Junior Football Association and the Ramsey Baseball Association. Hank enjoyed sharing his love of sports through coaching 7th and 8th graders, including his younger brother, Christopher. Many of these players went on to enjoy sports at the high school and college level.
