Gateway sophomore Patrick Body made two of the Gators’ most important catches in the playoffs and was rewarded this week with his first Division I college offer.

Body announced an offer from William & Mary.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound wide receiver and defensive back played a key role in Gateway winning the WPIAL Class 5A title this season. Body caught a 28-yard game-winning touchdown with 38 seconds left to defeat Bethel Park, 17-13, in the WPIAL quarterfinals.

Two weeks later, he caught a 61-yard touchdown in Gateway’s 21-20 victory over Peters Township in the WPIAL championship.

Body had 27 catches for 467 yards.
