A decade ago, when I’d hear the old, sophomoric barbs aimed at the thin, redheaded kid at the end of the Huskies’ bench, I’d think, “If these knuckleheads only knew who they were heckling. That kid may save one of their lives one day.”​

​

That day has come for Pat Lenehan, walk-on member of UConn’s 2014 national champions, fan favorite at Gampel, fan target on the road. He is Dr. Patrick Lenehan, MD, PhD, who has his degrees from Harvard Medical School and MIT, is an intern in pediatrics at Mass General Hospital in Boston, set to start his residency in radiology there next year.​

Congrats Pat
Having been through radiology recently I have a huge appreciation for those who work in this area.

Gotta be super cool to have a National Championship name with your name on it. I'd have a hard not not being a jack*** and show it to everyone I meet.
