Tommy Herion came to University City in January 2026 after most recently serving as the quarterbacks coach at the University of New Hampshire.
Under his guidance, All-CAA honoree Matt Vezza took every snap at quarterback during the season for the Wildcats. He completed 226 of 369 passes for 2,735 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also leads the team with eight rushing touchdowns on 151 carries for 601 yards.
Herion transitioned to coaching as a graduate assistant at UNH before being promoted to running backs coach, where he mentored All-American Dylan Laube. Under Herion’s guidance, Laube led the FCS in all-purpose yards in 2022 and 2023. Laube was selected in the 6th round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders. While in his graduate assistant role with the QBs, Herion played a key role in the development of quarterback Max Brosmer, a Walter Payton Award finalist in 2023, who went on to transfer to the University of Minnesota.
Before beginning his coaching career, Herion played quarterback at the University of Iowa before transferring to UNH in 2018.
