He referred to himself as a Renate Alumnius in his yearbook, a reference to a female Catholic school student in the area. Kavanaugh followed in the footsteps of his paternal grandfather and attended Yale University after graduating from Georgetown Prep in 1983.



He was recalled by several former Yale classmates for his love of athletics, particularly basketball, and for being serious but not ostentatious. The Yale Bulldogs men’s basketball team turned him down, so he went on to play two years of junior varsity basketball instead.
