JACKSONVILLE, Florida -- Patrick Ryan has one more opportunity to make it as a college football player. The quarterback intends to use it.
Ryan, a Fort Myers native who had a high school career disrupted at Gateway Charter, left the promise of starting at a Division II school for the goal of playing D-I only to be thrown off that team for disciplinary reasons, hopes to make the most of one last chance.
Ryan, 22, will do try to do so at his fifth school in seven years.
Driven by the influences of his childhood neighborhoods and his admiration for his childhood friends, including Lee County’s all-time leading high school football rusher Noel Devine, Ryan has enrolled at Edward Waters College, an NAIA program in Jacksonville.
