Frank T. Schettino was elected to the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the sports of football and baseball.
Schettino was an outstanding two-way end in the early sixties for the football team and played a heavy hitting left field for renowned diamond mentor John "Tinker" Connelly. At Northeastern, he excelled on both sides of the football, and shed the shoulder pads each spring to shag fly balls and drive in runs. He earned football letters in 1960, '61 and '62, earning numerous individual accolades along the way. Garnishing an impressive senior campaign were All City, All New England and All ECAC East Trophies. He capped a virtuoso football stint with the Most Valuable Player Award in 1962, as he led the Huskies in pass receptions, kickoff returns and scoring. On the other side of the ball, he was a feared hitter and pass rusher. After Northeastern, Schettino was offered a tryout with the Boston Patriots of the AFL, before winding up with the Boston Steamers of the old Atlantic Coast League.
Schettino's contributions to Northeastern have not limited themselves to the playing fields; Frank is a former Varsity Club President and Vice Chairman of the Athletic Facilities Fund Raising Campaign, and is a charter member of the Husky N Club. Schettino has been a tireless and dedicated volunteer ever since his professional career as a top administrator at Northeastern commenced in 1970. Frank served as the University's Assistant Director of Financial Aid.
