Yeboah wasn’t highly recruited out of high school. He played QB/DB for the football team and was made team captain his sophomore year. He played the majority of his DB snaps at strong safety gaining a reputation as a relentless tackling machine due to his high motor and hard hitting style. Rivals.com named him a 3 star recruit at QB and DB. He fielded few D1 offers due to playing at a small high school program. The highest profile offer he received was from Penn State to play exclusively at safety as they felt he would be better suited to being a safety and they already had better options at QB. Although Yeboah wanted to play QB he decided to accept the offer as he felt playing at Penn State gave himself the best chance of being drafted to the big league so he headed off to Penn State.
Going into his freshman year he wasn't a starter but he was stated to be a big part of the rotation. Due to a injury Tony was pushed into a starting role where he started to gain national recognition due to his old school, hard hitting style. In his first few starts he had several highlight hits which trended on social media and led to him being given his nickname "The Assassin". Penn State went 11-2 during the regular season and they finished the season ranked 7th in the country which led them to a Rose Bowl berth against USC which they lost 52-49.
