Dev Patel '26 Recruiting Profile

Although I didn’t officially begin thinking about playing football in college until eighth grade, I knew I loved football from a very young age and began playing tackle football in third grade. 

Since then, I have dedicated my days to improving as a player while also attempting to motivate my teammates. I train 5-6 times a week in the weight room outside of team workouts/practices. 

Devoted to becoming a leader both on and off the field, I take part actively in clubs and athletics at school. Aside from football, I participate in basketball, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Future Business Leaders of America. 

I am a committed and persistent student-athlete who will put in the effort to demonstrate my abilities at a top-tier football school while also prioritizing academics.
