Former Syracuse standout center Pat Killorin has been selected into the American Football Association Semi-Pro Hall of Fame, the AFA announced on Monday. He is one of 18 selected into this year's Hall of Fame Class of '14. Killorin ('66) was also honored with the 2013 Zunic Award, presented by the Syracuse Football Club this year.
The AFA Semi-Pro Hall of Fame honors former players, coaches, equipment managers, trainers, executives, pioneers of the sport, women's football players, officials, media members, international players, youth football players and even one Super Fan.
The AFA's mission is to keep alive the memories of those who have played, coached, officiated and administrated on the team or league level and otherwise contributed to the advancement and awareness of semi-pro/minor league football across the country. Our objective is to ensure that our semi-pro player's unselfish contributions to our level of the game are remembered forever by their fans, family, dormer teammates and those who follow their football leadership in the future.
On the field, Killorin was a two-time All-American (1964-65) and blocked for the legendary Floyd Little who led the NCAA in all-purpose yards per game in 1965. Killorin was a two-time All-East First Team selection and was honored with the 1965 Bill Horr Award as the team's MVP. He played one year of professional football after being selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1966 NFL Draft.
Off the field, Killorin was the vice president of Syracuse's University's Class of 1966 and he was a member of the Phi Kappa Alpha Honorary Fraternity.
Killorin's life after football has been filled with many professional accomplishments. He is the former President/CEO of Patco Management, Inc., a nationally-known food safety consultant, and Prosan Inc., a professional food safety audit and training company. A current Baldwinsville, N.Y. resident, Killorin now works as a registered food safety sanitarian for Brulin Holdings.
Killorin is a member of several associations and committees associated with food safety, including the Association of Food and Drug Officials, the New York State Sanitarian Advisory Committee and the Central Atlantic Sanitarians Association.
In addition, Killorin is heavily involved in the Central New York community. He volunteers as a family care giver for Hospice and has donated his time to the Meals on Wheels program. In 2007, he was presented with the United Way of Central New York "Exceptional Volunteer" award. He's also held multiple voluntary youth coaching positions in the Syracuse area and Watertown.
