Pat Ruel, former Seattle Seahawks assistant line coach, to serve as keynote speaker at Skagit Valley College’s Athletic Fundraising Event on October 28

Skagit Valley College and SVC Foundation are excited to announce that Pat Ruel, recently retired Assistant Offensive Line Coach for the Seattle Seahawks, will be the special speaker at SVC’s 18th Annual SVC Athletic Fundraising Event on Wednesday, October 28. This virtual event starts at 5pm. For event details, visit www.skagitfoundation.org/vae .

How about those SEAHAWKS?! 5-0! 🏈 Pat Ruel’s successful history with the Seattle Seahawks is beyond is impressive. His coaching tenure with the Hawks began in 2010. Among the many highlights, the offensive line was led last season by All-Pro Tackle Duane Brown, as Seattle led the NFL in rushing with 2,560 yards, the third-most in franchise history, and helped Running Back Chris Carson become Seattle’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2014.

Coach Ruel’s inspirational story will showcase how striving for excellence on the field and in life helps guide student-athletes to success. As a young player, Pat Ruel was a standout football player at Coral Gables High School. During his highly successful career, he has played in, or coached, in championship games on each level: high school title, college national championship, as well as NFL Super Bowls.
