Tom Thayer is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on August 16, 1961 in United States.

The youngest of five children, Thayer was born and raised in Joliet, Illinois. Thayer’s father, Allen, was a lineman for Com Ed for 43 years before retiring. In addition to their own children, Thayer’s parents adopted the three children of a neighbor after their parents were killed in a plane crash. Thayer graduated from the Cathedral of Saint Raymond grade school in May 1975. He then attended Joliet Catholic High School and graduated in 1979. Thayer helped the Joliet Catholic “Hilltoppers” to win consecutive Class 4A IHSA football championships in 1977 and 1978 as a junior and senior. The Hilltoppers went an undefeated 13-0 in both seasons outscoring their opponents 224-24 in eight playoff games, including 106—0 in the 1978 playoffs. Gordon Gillespie, the head coach at Joliet Catholic at the time, has referred to Thayer as “one of the five best players I ever coached, and he was the best lineman”.

After graduating from Joliet Catholic, Thayer went to University of Notre Dame and was a member of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team for four years, first under head coach Dan Devine and then under Gerry Faust. Thayer was a member of the 1980 Fighting Irish team that was ranked number one in both the Coaches’ Poll and AP Poll after going undefeated after seven games, but finished with only two wins out of their last five games, including a loss to the eventual National Champion Georgia Bulldogs in the 1981 Sugar Bowl, to finish the season ranked ninth and tenth respectively in the AP and College Coaches’ polls. Thayer was named an honorable All-American while at Notre Dame and graduated with a degree in media communications in 1983.
