For Bluefield College Football fans the return of football has been a long and not ideal start. However, this past season was a trend in the right direction for the Rams. The Rams had their first winning season in program history since the revival of the program in 2012 by posting a record of 6-5.
Bluefield College looks to continue this winning tradition into the 2018 season and they will look to guys such as Lowell Patron to step in and fill some big shoes after graduating some of their outside weapons. The 6 foot 190 pound wide receiver out of Newport News, Virginia, will look to step back on the field this season, after redshirting his first two years on campus.

Patron explained what this has done for him mentally “Sitting out my first two years was very hard, however I was able watch some of the older guys ahead of me and figure out what I need to do to be successful.”.
For most players not playing a game for two years could affect their ability to perform at game speed, but Patron is confident that he will be able to jump right back in. “I know that if I trust the work I put in this off season and the work that I will put this summer, then I should be fine.”
The Rams will open up the 2018 season against Cumberland University on Aug. 25th at Mitchell Stadium.
