Talking Penn State Football History: Tom Donchez Tribute
Tom Donchez passed away on August 28, 2024, at the age of 72. Tom was one of Penn State's best fullbacks in school history. He was also a special human being. He played a short time in the NFL and blocked for both O.J. Simpson and Walter Payton. Tom was successful in business with Air Products where he was employed for 35 years. He also was one of the founding members of the PSU Letterman's Club. Joining me to talk about Tom as a football player and human being are teammates Buddy Tesner, Tommy O'Dell, Greg Murphy, Greg Buttle, Tom Shuman and Tom's three sons Andy, Pete and Mike. We hail Tom Donchez as one of Penn State's best fullbacks in history, but more importantly, as a great human being.
