Coach says “Pat was voted a captain after his sophomore year. He is a true leader and the spirit of the team. He broke his arm after week zero last season and was finally cleared to play for the playoffs. He was absolutely dominant once he got back on the field and I’m excited to see a fully healthy senior season and see where football can take him at the college level.”

How was your 2023 season? 

Me personally my season was short as I only played 6 games before an injury preparing for a big game cut my season short. I would say my season was okay but team wise we won our first playoff game (At Central HS) for the first time in 9 years so that was great.

Favorite teammate and why? 

My favorite teammate was Qadir Carr class of 2024. He was my favorite teammate because when I was a freshman and the only one, he didn’t treat me like a freshman and it really just started from there playing with him just made me a better player.

Favorite play to run? 

My favorite play to run on defense is when on defense is when our coach calls a SS or WS blitz.

Game on the line would you rather play offense or defense?

The most influential person in my life right now is my pops and mom because they are there for me when I need them.
