Zack Pattat '13 Recruiting Profile

First of all i feel that my most important statistic about myself as an athlete would be my speed, strength, and expierience.  I am continueing to get bigger and strong while being able to increase in my speed as well.  As far as expierience, i feel that i have a big advantage over some people, because i have been playing football my whole life.  Since i was little i have been practicing, and as soon as i was able to i joined a league.  I feel like i know the game better than alot of people.  My most important accomplishment so far would have to be being a starter on offense and defense for the varsity team at my school my sophomore year.  I can offer many things to a team.  The first would be leadeship.  I always and helping out my team mates and helping them to become better.  If things go wrong in the locker room or off the field i am there to help out my team mates.  Another important aspect would be my work ethic; every practice i go as hard as i can to make my team mates and I better.  I am always pushing people to become better, and it has showed.  The schools i would like to go to are the ones where football is a way of life, like Texas.  Along with that they have to have good academics.  The type of school to me is indifferent as long as i get a good education and can play ball there.  I would like to go to a D1 school that is decently sized, but if that isn't going to happen i would be fine playing in any other division.  I havent thought of my major yet as i am only a sophomore, but i know i want to go into a career in the medical field if football doesn't work out. My main goal though would be to play for a D1 school.  I understand that it is difficult and requires tremendous work, but i am willing to do whatever it takes and work as hard as i can to achieve my goals as a student athlete,
