veteran Holy Cross linebacker with proven NFL pedigree
Pat O’Connell is a former Holy Cross linebacker whose biggest differentiator is pedigree: he’s already reached the NFL and logged regular-season action with Seattle, which instantly signals pro-level habits, toughness, and special-teams value. At Holy Cross, that kind of linebacker profile usually translates to a high-IQ, physical, assignment-sound defender who can raise a room’s standard by example. If you need a player who brings credibility, edge, and a competitive edge that teammates feel fast, O’Connell is the kind of fit you notice even before the box score does.
