On November 17, 1997, Matthew Connor Hennessy, a center with the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League, was born. He participated in collegiate football at Temple. Hennessy was born in Nyack, New York, and was reared in Bardonia, New York.
He attended Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, where he received his diploma. Hennessy, a 3-star offensive tackle recruit, selected Temple over offers to play collegiate football from schools including Air Force, Army, Florida Atlantic, Old Dominion, and Yale.
As a true freshman, Hennessy started one game at left guard and participated in three more before sitting out the remainder of the campaign. With the exception of the one game he missed due to injury, he started every game as the Owls’ starting center during his redshirt freshman season.

The Atlanta Falcons selected Hennessy with the 78th overall choice in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He is now wearing jersey number 61 and serving as the team’s center. Thomas Hennessy, Hennessy’s older brother, is the long snapper for the New York Jets.
