University of Rhode Island

Thomas Cataldo was a three-year starter on the offensive line at Rhode Island, from 1968-70.  A stalwart on the left side of the line, Cataldo served as an offensive captain captain in 1969 and a game captain in 1970 and earned All-Yankee Conference and All-East honors as a senior. 

A four-time Dean’s List member, he received the University’s Overall Achievement Award in 1971, presented to the student-athlete who excelled in the classroom and on the playing fields.  Cataldo’s commitment to URI Athletics continued long after his playing career, as he earned the University’s Business Person of the Year Award in 2006 and currently serves as a trustee of the URI Foundation.
