Staat To Be Deployed to Iraq

With about 3 weeks before Pat’s Run, another former Sun Devil is being deployed to Iraq. Lance Cpl. Jeremy Staat was a former roommate of Pat Tillman and decided that he wanted to follow in his former teammates footsteps. However, Tillman convinced him to wait it out and join the Marines after he could get retirement benefits from the NFL.

Lance Cpl. Jeremy Staat is expected to be in Iraq for seven months with his unit. With Tillmans memory with us everyday, we hope for the best for another former Sun Devil and every other solider out there. We know Lance Cpl. Jeremy Staat will be honoring his country as he leaves for Iraq, but he will also be fighting for his former roommate and fallen solider Pat Tillman.

Good luck Lance Cpl. Jeremy Staat and we will see you in seven months.
