ESPN Story on Omameh's Good Deeds
Nice write-up by Chantel Jennings on Omameh's works at Mott. Turns out he's one hell of a tennis player.

Except you won't see this on the front page of ESPN.com with the headline "Michigan Football Player Commits Good Deed"
I hate MSM.

True. But to be fair, you probably wouldn't see that headline on ESPN for an athlete at any school either.

My favorite two star recruit of all time! Thanks man.

This is not trolling...
"Kovacs, my favorite walk on of all time!"
is the same exact thing. We all love when players overcome others expectations of them and fight through adversity in order to succeed.

I've read about his accomplishments as a student and we have all been witness to his skills on the football field, as I'm sure Manti Te'o can testify. But on top of that he is a great human being. People like Patrick make me proud to be a Michigan alum.

The photo accompanying the article says it all. So nice to see a six year old smiling after the events of the last few days. Ironic that her name is Faith.
I've always been proud to be a Michigan Wolverine, but stories like this make me even prouder. This young man will succeed in whatever he chooses to do with his life.
Use an unstrung racket for that big match, Patrick. She deserves to win.

posts. While Patrick is trying to figure out where all the dust came from, Faith will destroy him. That young lady deserves anything good that comes her way.

The relationship with Mott is such a great thing that our athletic department does! Great to see ap layer be recognized for participating!
Good luck to Faith (patient he befriended)!
Also- how awesome would it actually be to see Omameh play tennis...
December 19th, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
But, more importantly, prayers for Faith!

This is great. Patrick is a stand-up guy and the the contributions he and others have made to Mott over the years should be applauded.

i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while.
this was a great story about two great people, very nice

Tremendous. It's great to see these stories when much of the "off the field" attention is centered on legal trouble, drug use, academic struggles, etc. You're making us proud Patrick!

This is second time I've seen it mentioned that Moosman put in a boot in his ass to start off this amazing run of service and dedication. I hope he sees these stories too. Always was fond of Moosman.

Faith's mother's blog about her daughter's medical struggles:

is truly a Michigan Man! I will miss him on Saturday afternoons.

"Some people have a gift to be a quarterback. Some people have a gift to be a speaker. He has a gift with kids. ... There isn't a kid in that hospital that doesn't want to see Patrick when he's there."
Well, I'm a weepy mess (and at work, too). God bless him and all the kids at Mott; that was a fantastic article.
