In Memory…

On Tuesday, November 7, the University of Miami tragically lost a member of our football family, Bryan Pata.

Bryan was a fine person and a great competitor. He will be forever missed by his coaches and teammates. We offer our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Our players are deeply saddened and are grieving. We ask that their privacy be respected in the coming days.

The University of Miami urges anybody with any information on this tragedy to contact the Miami-Dade Police Department Homicide Bureau or Crimestoppers.

In light of the terrible tragedy that has struck the Miami family, this page is offered to submit thoughts, prayers and remembrances. We will format and display notes for all to share.
