Former Dr. Phillips standout quarterback Nick Patti has officially been granted his release from Boise State.

Patti, who holds career records at Dr. Phillips for passing yards (5,701), touchdown passes (66) and pass completions (374) could not find a niche within the Boise State football team. During his redshirt freshman season he completed 8-of-11 passes for 63 yards with no touchdowns.


Boise State University Assistant Athletic Director of Media Relations Max Corbet confirmed the story that was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel to KBOI2.

“Nick’s father contacted us and asked for permission to contact the University of Central Florida. We have granted permission for him to only contact Central Florida,” Corbet told KBOI2.

UCF offered Patti a scholarship during his senior season at Dr. Phillips, but he was already committed to Boise State. Per NCAA rules, Patti would likely have to sit out for the 2014 NCAA Football season.
