Austin Patrick – East Stroudsburg University (Soccer)

Major:  Sports & Entertainment Management

Final list of colleges:  East Stroudsburg, West Chester, Millersville

Reasons for choosing East Stroudsburg:  “I really liked the soccer team. They’re like one big family, and I really liked the coach.”

What was the progression that led you to playing soccer at the collegiate level?  “I have always wanted to continue playing soccer. My sophomore year I really committed to just wanting to play in college.”

Coach Pete Valimont says:  “He’s got a long throw – he’s got one of the longest throws our program has ever seen, and he’s tall and can head balls.
“East Stroudsburg’s program is in transition, so A.P. should have a great opportunity to make their squad. As a coach, I wish him the best.”
