By Gary Estwick | gestwick@al.com

John Carroll on Friday evening will honor Pat Sullivan, its former football star who won the 1971 Heisman Trophy while at Auburn and enjoyed a college coaching career spanning four decades.

John Carroll’s football field will be renamed for its famous alum. The dedication is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 p.m. – immediately before the school’s home football game against Springville.

During halftime, John Carroll will hold a dedication on the field at Pat Sullivan Field with Sullivan and Cavalier football players.

“Our students, our community need to understand what a person like Pat Sullivan means not only to the John Carroll community, but the Birmingham community,” first-year John Carroll football coach Logan Colafrancesco said.
