His older brother, Bryan Savage, who was also an athlete, was the most popular player on his high school football and baseball teams. Bryan played college football at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Hofstra University as a quarterback, but his football career ended very sadly when it was discovered that he had a stage 3 herniated disc in his back that resulted in numbness in his feet. Although he underwent surgery, the condition put an abrupt end to his dream of playing in the NFL.
Tom was always very close to his father. In his early days playing football, he would check to see if his father was coming every time he was hit and fall, and if he wasn’t, he would get up knowing he was fine. He was quiet and shy and always looked up to his father.

En route to the University of Arizona, RichRodriguez took the position of head coach of the football program and since he had committed a felony dispersal, he had no use for Tom Savage, who was a dropback passer.
