Louisiana Tech’s Will Patrick was named to the 2023-24 Academic All-District Men’s At-Large Team, announced by College Sports Communicators which recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.

Patrick graduated this past winter quarter with a degree in Business Management, holding a 3.72 cumulative grade point average.

The Bulldog golfer is a four-time CUSA Commissioner’s Honor Roll recipient, two-time CUSA Academic Medalist, and was a GCAA All-American Scholar in 2023.

The Oneonta, Alabama native competed in 10 events this past season, tied for second most on the team. He registered a stroke average of 75.0 over 30 rounds while totaling 76 birdies and shooting seven rounds at or under par.

Patrick’s best finish of his senior season came at the Conference USA Championship when he tied for 19th after shooting 72-78-72=222 (+6) to help the Bulldogs finish first in stroke play. He would also claim a point in the semifinal match play against UTEP, winning 6&4.

This marks the third time in the last four years that member of the LA Tech Golf team earned Academic All-District honors.
