Our Next Hometown Hero?

If you have no interest in sports or football at all, or just simply despise the University of Delaware athletic teams, then I suggest you don’t read this article because it will cause you despair and drive you insane. But if you just love the Blue Hens, then just go ahead and read this article.
In downtown Newark, the University of Delaware’s head coach, K. C. Keeler, of the University’s football team, had an announcement to make. He made an announced that he had the largest recruiting class of his seven seasons with the Blue Hens with a total of twenty high school standouts signed to the NCAA (National College Athletic Association) National Letters of Intent for an athletic scholarship, for this upcoming semester this fall. Not only do the Blue Hens have twenty recruits waiting for an athletic scholarship, but the Keeler made a bit hit with the team’s newest quarterback.
Coach Keeler proudly announced that Pat Devlin, the top quarterback up at Penn State University (PSU) for the past two seasons and a former high school All-American out of Downingtown, Pennsylvania East High School, has transferred to the University of Delaware, and has already began classes. Devlin will take place in spring training (still being a Sophomore) with the Hens and has two seasons with the football team, in which he will most likely be the starting quarterback, beginning this fall.
Standing at six foot four, weighing at two hundred and twenty two pounds, and born on April 12, 1988 (age twenty), Pat Devlin was a Nittany Lion (Penn State’s mascot) until right after the 2008 Rose Bowl. Devlin decided that he would transfer to the University of Delaware to continue his college football career.
In his 2008 season with the Nittany Lions, he was rated as a quarterback as a 163.31, (they rate a quarterback by how many touchdowns, yards, interceptions, sacks, etc. they had that season) four touchdowns, and a total of for hundred and fifty-nine yards that season.
If you’re bad at math, you might have a little bit of trouble with this: What do you get when add a good offense plus a good defense plus a good kicking team plus a star quarterback from Penn State? A kicking butt Blue Hens football team! Let’s hope that we have a shot of the championship with our new star quarterback!
