Rice's Elite Pass Rusher Making Waves in C-USA
Zach Patt is a disruptive defensive end for Rice who's establishing himself as one of the nation's premier pass rushers. With 10.5 sacks and 46 solo tackles, he's near the top of Rice's single-season sack record (12, set in 2001) and earned Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honors after a dominant performance against FIU that included 5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles. His relentless motor, gap discipline, and ability to create turnovers make him a high-impact prospect for teams seeking a versatile edge defender who impacts the game beyond the stat sheet.
