Nichols College Athletics

Tom LoRicco (1974-78) was a four-year member of the Nichols College football team who helped them win two outright New England Football Conference (NEFC) Championships (1974; 1976) and a share of another (1975).

In four years in Dudley, LoRicco tallied 55 receptions for 727 yards and six touchdowns. His best season came as a senior, when he caught 26 passes for 356 yards and five touchdowns en route to earning both NEFC All-Star and Team MVP honors.

During LoRicco’s career, the Bison posted a record of 26-8-1, finished ranked No. 5 in New England by United Press International (UPI) in 1974, and No. 8 in the Lambert Poll the following year. As a junior in 1976, LoRicco helped the Bison tie the program records for wins (eight) and winning percentage (.889).
