Patrick Lawler adds another big body to the Villanova offensive line depth chart in 2016. He gave the Wildcats his commitment in mid-January after deciding that the school was the best fit for him academically and athletically. Today it was announced that he has officially signed his National Letter of Intent.
A 6'7" and 270-pound lineman from Braintree, Massachusetts, Lawler played on both sides of the ball at Thayer Academy. He chose Villanova over offers from New Hampshire and Stony Brook. Head coach-in-waiting Mark Ferrante developed a close relationship with the young player during his recruitment.
