It was his lifelong dream to play in Fort Worth, now this TCU offensive lineman is making the most of it

Since the moment he stepped on campus, Patrick has approached making the most of his dream opportunity with an intensity on the field and easy to get along with personality off of it, which has already helped him become a key cog for TCU’s offense.

However, one positon where there’s youth and depth is small forward, featuring four-star freshmen, Jace Posey and Isaiah Manning. The roster fit is questionable but since this is the lone local option among the four, that could help the Frogs here.

Positioned to start Sunday in Seattle since injured rookie Bryce Young isn't practicing and isn't expected to play, Dalton has been taking all the reps with the ones and remembering what it's like again.
