Patrick Batiste '20 Recruiting Profile

I have goals, and I had to realize not everyone in my circle had the same mindset as me. I had to focus on my future and do things that would benefit me without distractions. I believe that I have provided strong contributions that can benefit and better the football team as a whole and ultimately the entire university. I want to expand my football skills and my academic success. I want a place that feels like a home away from home.  It would be my honor and a privilege to study and play football for your organization. I know that I will only be able to achieve all of my goals and success by join this exceptional university. I have always been confident in my sport, but I have had a few obstacles to overcome during my time on the Nansemond River High School football team. The main one being the lost to our family home in a horrible house fire that displaced us to a hotel for 2 months.  This was a very traumatic event for my family and me but through the faith of God, we overcame this hardship.
