Charlie Noonan is in his first season on the Tomcat football staff. He will be primarily responsible for the defensive line.
Noonan grew up in Ardmore, Pa. and played high school football at St. Joseph's Prep under head coach Gil Brooks. As a senior captain Noonan lead St. Joseph's Prep to their fourth Catholic League Red title in five years while helping the Hawks earn a spot in the USA Today Top 25 rankings. He was elected to play in the Big 33 Football Classic in 2006 and was a first-team All-City selection and a two-time member of the All-Catholic League First Team.
After persevering through a pair of ACL injuries early in his career at Rutgers University, Noonan started for two seasons at nose guard and accumulated over 100 tackles during that time. He was elected a team captain during his senior campaign and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.
In August 2011 Noonan was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles to compete for a position on their defensive line while working with line coach Jim Washburn.
