New Commit!!
I thought this would already be posted here..... I copied from al.com in the chat forum.
Patrick Hanrahan, from Springville High School, was unsure about his college destination until two days ago when he went to Tuscaloosa for a visit with the Crimson Tide. The 6-1, 240 pound fullback accepted a grey-shirt offer.
"I have already graduated high school. I graduated in May. I went down to Alabama on Tuesday. I met with Coach Shula. He offered me a grey-shirt," said Patrick Hanrahan.
There is a possibility Hanrahan could see action in the fall opposed to sitting out until January. "I will be enrolling in school in the fall," he said. "The coaches want me to in case they need to pull me in to play fullback. I will most likely be a grey-shirt like John Parker Wilson was last year. It's 50/50 right now."
Hanrahan was unsure about his future because of his core classes in high school. Hanrahan said, "It was a long process for me. At the end of my eleventh grade year, there were a lot of schools showing interest in me. I found out I didn't have enough core classes. I had to re-take the ACT. I recently found out everything went through with the NCAA Clearinghouse."
"Alabama was the school who maintained contact with me. When they found out everything went through with the NCAA Clearinghouse they asked me to come down to meet with them. Alabama is a place where I have always wanted to go. It's a great school and I'm excited," added Hanrahan.
When asked about his strengths on the field Hanrahan replied, "My strengths are running the ball and blocking. I really love contact. The main thing I would like to improve is my speed. I ran a 4.63 (laser time), but I know I need to keep working on it."
Other schools showing interest included Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Hanrahan sports a 330 pound bench press. A 465 pound squat and a 275 pound power clean max
