Early life
[edit | edit source]Born and raised in Irvine, California, Sullivan attended Lutheran High School of Orange County in Orange, California. During his high school career, Sullivan played quarterback for the men's varsity football team[2] and center field for the men's baseball team.[2]
College career
[edit | edit source]Sullivan originally committed to Duke University[3] to play baseball but revoked his decision and chose to attend the University of Southern California on baseball scholarship. He joined the football team as a walk-on.[4] Sullivan redshirted the 2012 season in football, sitting behind Matt Barkley, Max Wittek, and Cody Kessler. As a freshman center fielder, Sullivan played in 26 games earning a .267 batting average, 4 RBIs and 2 steals.[5]
As a sophomore, Sullivan left the baseball team, choosing to focus on football. He earned USCs Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year award while running scout team quarterback.[6] As scout team quarterback, Sullivan faced many NFL prospects, including Leonard Williams, Devon Kennard,[7] Hayes Pullard, and Nickell Robey.
Following his redshirt sophomore football season, Sullivan elected to join the USC Track and Field team alongside teammate Adoree' Jackson. Sullivan competed in the Javelin Throw, with a best mark of 176-10.[1]
That same spring, Sullivan was awarded a football scholarship[8] from then head coach Steve Sarkisian. He served as USCs placekick holder for the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons.[1]
In August 2014, Sullivan (Business Major, Film Minor) was named USC student-athlete of the week by athletic director Pat Haden.[9]
