With almost a month to go until show time, we’re down to our last two groomsmen – Brady’s best men. As fate would have it, the two gentlemen are both gym, errr … physical education teachers at Egg Harbor Township High School and coach football together. Today’s post focuses on the man with the most contagious laugh in the room, who’s been Brady’s best friend for over 14 years. Ladies love him, men want to be him, high school kids get into stretching lines for him. Say hello to Ryan David Platt.
About Platt
* Whew, where to begin? From junior football to high school football, from endless concerts, beach trips and “social gatherings,” to four years spent dominating at West By God Virginia University … Mr. P and Brady have really been through it all together. Platt’s always been like another member of the family at the Smith house – he literally has his own stocking at Christmas time.
* If you’re not from EHT and see Platt at the wedding, you might be a bit surprised to know that he was an all-Cape Atlantic League defensive lineman in high school. Sometimes giving up over 100 pounds to his opponent, it was truly a sight to watch Platt wiggle his way through the offensive line to make tackle after tackle for the Silver Eagles.
* Aside from his love for the gridiron, Platt is an extremely passionate person who enjoys many of life’s finer offerings … including good music, surfing, snowboarding, chicken fingers, blue cheese and ketchup. Platt’s so passionate about the last two things that they often end up as a decoration on his face.
