Thomas Benjamin Savage (born April 26, 1990) is an American football quarterback for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Texans in the fourth round (135th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Rutgers, Arizona, and Pittsburgh.
At Cardinal O'Hara High School, Savage was a member of the football team for four years and started at quarterback for three. He threw for 1,355 yards, and 10 touchdowns as a senior.
Savage enrolled at Rutgers University in 2009, and after Rutgers opened the season with a loss to Cincinnati, he was named the starting quarterback. He led the team to a 9-4 record. During his freshman year at Rutgers, Savage passed for 2,211 yards and 14 touchdowns, while throwing only seven interceptions. In arguably his best game of the year, he completed 14-of-27 passes for a season-high 294 yards and two touchdowns against the University of Central Florida in the 2009 St. Petersburg Bowl. He was named on the All-American Freshman Team by the Football Writers Association of America.
In 2010, Savage threw for 521 passing yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Early in the season, he was sidelined by an injury to his hand and replaced with freshman quarterback Chas Dodd. Dodd remained the starting quarterback based on his performance against Connecticut in his first ever start. On January 8, 2011, Savage announced he would be transferring from Rutgers University. Rutgers granted Savage a conditional release. In February 2011, he announced that he was transferring to Arizona. He would have had to sit out the 2011 season due to NCAA transfer rules but would be eligible to play in 2012.
