WASHINGTON — For the second straight year, UTSA redshirt sophomore tight end Patrick Overmyer has been chosen as a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete as part of the fifth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the football field in the ACC and the American Conference.
The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Conference, the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.
Overmyer carries a 3.41 GPA as a mechanical engineering major. A two-time member of the American Conference All-Academic Team, he completed an internship at Unify Energy Solutions this past summer, gaining hands-on experience with innovative energy management technologies.
“Patrick is one of the most hardworking and sincere students in my class,” UTSA professor Madhavrao Govindaraju said. “His performance in my Engineering Design and Graphics course and Materials Engineering course is excellent. He did well in both the courses. He is currently enrolled in my Manufacturing Engineering course. I wish him all the best in all his future endeavors.”
On the field, Overmyer has caught 14 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for a score this season. The Kingwood Park High School product had a career-high 68 yards on four receptions in the 48-26 home triumph over Tulane and hauled in a career-long 45-yard touchdown pass against South Florida. A 2024 Freshman All-American, he had a receiving touchdown and a rushing TD against Temple.
“We are excited to once again present the Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program and celebrate the successes of these student-athletes on the field and in the classroom,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “Along with our partners at Fognigma, we congratulate these young men for their achievements and look forward to their continued success.”
The two players whose teams compete in the 2025 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. CT and the game will be televised on ESPN. A donation will be made by Fognigma in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
