>Coach says: “Patrick has the tools to be a game changing WR. He has good quickness, strong footwork off the ball, and with his vertical jump is able to pull in passes that may be out of reach for others. Patrick put in time in the off-season to improve his blocking technique so he can better help us at TE too. On defense Patrick is a hybrid DE/OLB. Patrick also plays Varsity Basketball and Track & Field.”
