Of course, he is the dad of Shea Patterson, the quarterback of our Ole Miss Rebels. But Sean Patterson Sr is way more than just that. In fact, he is only 1/7 of a winning team. Sean Sr, and his wife Karen, have five children, Sean Jr, Abby, Kacie , Shea and Nick.

Ok, being a parent of two sons myself, I know this has to be tough. Why? Because, as parents we can all remember shuffling kids from baseball practice to soccer practice, etc. Imagine doing that with five kids!

So, you say, “How hard can it be? I mean most of his kids are grown aren’t they?” Yes, they also all went to college on athletic scholarship, with the exception of Nick.

Nick is a freshman at St Stanislaus, and just received his first D1 offer from FAU. Being Sean Patterson, Sr isn’t easy.
