Exeter resident Pat Nolan will be among those hoping to land with an NFL team next month, either as a draft pick or as a free agent.

Nolan, a 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive end, made 47 tackles (12 for loss) during his senior season at Colgate. He led the league with 6.5 sacks and was named to the All-Patriot League First Team.

Nolan (right) played varsity football for Exeter in 2001 and 2002. The Blue Hawks beat Dover, 24-21, to win the Division II championship in 2002. He was captain of the football, baseball and hockey teams during his senior year. Nolan also represented New Hampshire in the 2003 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl.

Nolan appeared in 31 games (23 starts) while at Colgate.
