he will be attending the 3/20 ND Junior Day, his Dad is an ND alum, and his older brother Bill is a ND walk-on long snapper. Those three qualities definitely qualify him. If he fits the Big Skills category it might also get him an Irish offer down the road. If not, Pat is definitely doing his due diligence with a lot of BCS schools in hopes of extending his offer list beyond Ball State.

Pat Flavin has the size - the Lisle (Ill.) Benet Academy junior is 6-foot-7, 260 pounds - that colleges look for in an offensive tackle. Recently retired Benet coach Gary Goforth said Flavin has the attitude to back up his intimidating mass.
Flavin, a starter on the offensive line since his sophomore year, recorded a pancake block or knockdown one out of every five plays, Goforth said.
"He plays angry when he plays," Goforth said. "He does not like to lose anything. He's very, very aggressive. He hates to be beat. He goes into every play like, 'I'm going to beat you.'
"Kids like him don't come around very often. A lot of times a bigger kid will do enough to get by. But he doesn't want to do enough to get by; he wants to make the kid realize that you better be ready to play or you're just going to get flattened."
Goforth said Flavin, who plays mostly out of a two-point stance in Benet's spread offense, will work more on coming out of a three-point stance during the summer.
We've seen a lot of improvement from his sophomore to junior year. Last year, his feet got better, his hand placement got better and his work ethic in the weight room got better and it wasn't bad to begin with, it just got better.
Flavin is "still pretty light" at 260 pounds, Goforth said, but has caught the attention of several Division I football programs. The Benet standout already sports an offer from Ball State. Goforth said Illinois State likely will offer Flavin soon as well, even though the FCS (formerly Division I) program doesn't expect to land the big lineman because Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Purdue and Northern Illinois have also shown interest.
"All the big schools have come in from the area, and I think he's going to end up at one of those schools," Goforth said. "But I've been around recruiting enough to know that sometimes things don't work out the way you'd like to see things work out. It's not a science, and they have to project him where they want. But if I was going to be starting an offensive line, I would start him up

Illinois offensive lineman Pat Flavin will also be at Michigan's camp this weekend. I spoke to his coach, Patrick New, and he told me Flavin is definitely interested in Michigan's tradition, and what they have to offer. He also said that Patrick gets the sense that he might not be on the top of Michigan's list. They both understand that some schools like to see athletes in person at camp before extending offers, especially on the offensive line. Flavin is likely to make a decision at the end of the summer.

Pat Flavin (Lisle, IL) - Nothing spectacular with Flavin, but he's a very solid
player. Needs to get stronger, but displays a good base and has some good
athleticism and movement in both pass pro and the run game. Low 4-star guy.
