Omega Nu and the Military Officers of America are offering him scholarships, in addition to his NCAA Athletic Scholarship from Stanislaus State. Sought after for his pitching by schools such as CSU, East Bay, Puget Sound, Cal Lutheran, Pacific Lutheran, Upper Iowa, and more, with some offering up to $29K in merit scholarships, Patrick accepted the offer from Stanislaus, close to family and friends.
Patrick intends to get a degree in Mathematics with a business minor.
