FIU Football: From Humble Beginnings to NFL Dreams — Tommy Heatherly

All it takes is one look at FIU’s Tommy Heatherly to notice that he’s far from your “average” punter.

His left arm features a full sleeve tattoo with cursive print on his inner bicep that reads “Neither the timid nor the weak shall inherit the Norseman tradition”, and his haircut is one that you would expect straight out of a West Kendall barber’s chair.

Spend five minutes with the 5-11, 210-pound senior and you’ll clearly see that he’s has been shaped by Miami — however, it’s not the Miami you’re thinking of.
