Rutgers University Athletics

Heenan was a three-year letterwinner for Rutgers (1931-33) and was an "ironman" offensive and defensive end in a time when Rutgers ran the ball 99% of the time. Heenan very rarely left the field and played virtually every minute of every game from 1931-33. Incredibly, he was on the field for all 600 minutes of the 1932 season. A rugged 180-pounder, his teams were 18-9-3 during his three varsity seasons. A native of Perth Amboy, he prepped at St. Mary's High School, and later returned to coach at St. Mary's for four years after his pro career.
