Patrick Ryan brings size, captaincy, and proven tackling production to Delaware's linebacker room
Ryan arrived at Delaware as a 6-4, 215-pound freshman linebacker after a high-impact high school career at Haddonfield Memorial, where he was a three-year starter, team captain, and first-team all-state selection in 2023. His profile suggests a physical, versatile defender with real closing ability: he piled up 141 career tackles, added three interceptions, and scored three total touchdowns in high school, then was listed on Delaware’s 2024 roster but did not see game action. The fit is appealing for a program that values length, toughness, and leadership traits that do not always show up in box scores.[5][6]
