As The STAC Camps Founder, Saul speaks around the country about lessons learned in
the Vehicle of Football and also promotes the STAC Camps message worldwide. Saul
realized the need for young competitors to learn how to translate and apply concepts
learned in the vehicle of sports to other life vehicles through
experience & observations while playing for 22 years.
Patu was a four-year letterman at the University of Oregon (1997-2000) and All-
Pacific-10 Conference selection. He was a semi-finalist for National Defensive Player of
the Year and winner of The Joe Shaffeld Award as the Ducks' top defensive lineman and
The Will Gonyea Award for the team's most inspirational player. Patu finished his
collegiate career as the All-Time Leader in Ducks history in Tackles For Loss and
Second in Sacks.
Saul went on from Oregon to play professional football for 8 years; 2 years in the NFL
with the New York Jets, New England Patriots & Tennessee Titans and 6 years in the
AFL with the Colorado Crush and Columbus Destroyers. In 2007, Saul became the
Crush's all time-leader in Sacks and Yards-Per-Carry.
