Patrick Kehoe (born December 23, 1996) is a former American football quarterback who played for the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens.

Early life

Kehoe was born on December 23, 1996, in Madison, Connecticut.[1][2] He was part of a set of triplets.[3] Kehoe attended Cheshire Academy where he was a four-year varsity player and three-year football starter.[2] He was named team captain as a senior and finished his stint at the school with a record of 32–4, being named all-conference three times and leading them to New England championships in 2011 and 2013.[2] He was the 2014 New England Offensive Player of the Year after throwing for 2,477 yards and 34 touchdowns.[2] He threw for a total of 7,340 yards and 88 touchdowns at Cheshire.[4]

College career

Kehoe began attending the University of Delaware in 2015, and spent his first season as the third-string quarterback, not seeing any playing time.[2][4] He remained in the position for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, making his debut in the latter year, when he played several snaps against Albany but attempted no passes.[2]

Kehoe moved up from third-string to first-string in 2018, replacing J. P. Caruso as starter.[5] He "started strong" as Blue Hens quarterback, leading them to important victories over ranked Elon and Towson.[5] However, he was limited for the second half of the season after getting injured in their win over New Hampshire.[5] Kehoe led the Blue Hens to the playoffs for the first time since 2010 with a 7–5 record,[6] but his injury from the New Hampshire game, in addition to a concussion suffered the prior week against Villanova, contributed to his poor performance in the 20–6 playoff loss to James Madison.[5] He finished the season having started all 12 games, and recorded 147 completions for 2,075 yards and 17 touchdowns.[7]

Kehoe split time as a backup and a starter in 2019 with Nolan Henderson.[8] He was benched for Henderson after the fourth game of the season,[9] but later came back after Henderson got injured.[10] Kehoe finished the season with ten games played, and posted 116 pass completions on 194 attempts for 1,335 yards and 11 touchdowns.[2][11]

Later life

After graduating from the University of Delaware, Kehoe coached basketball at The Winchendon School for one season and later became an employee at KeyBank.[12]
