Trammell was the starting varsity quarterback at
Scottsboro High School, where he earned All-County, All-State, All-Southern and All-American honors during his four year prep career. He broke a string of records including having thrown 5 touchdown passes in a single game, twice, and 40 touchdown passes during his high school career.

Several interviews of family members and players that knew him best gleaned some light on what made him so exceptional and "unbeatable". He had mastered the cognitive component of the fundamentals of the game by using his unique gifts of an eidetic "photographic" memory, "sixth sense" and "field presence". At any given moment during any play of any game, he knew how it was intended to unfold, not just for his position, but for every player on the field. He would have anticipated the next move of his opponents well before they knew it themselves and would often manipulate them into a more suitable position for his offense. Even when far outmatched, he would home in and exploit the weak link of the defense to leverage an upper hand. He welcomed adversity and would actually thrive on it. What Bryant found to be so amazing was that even though he was not a superior athlete, he was always able to find the necessary resources in the exact way at the exact time to overcome the odds, "make things happen" and deliver a win. Bryant would continue to build on this foundation for the rest of his career to turn average players with average skills into exceptional players who would believe in themselves and become winners both on and off the field.

Incoming quarterback,
Joe Namath, was heavily influenced by Trammell during their overlapping season of 1961. "Pat's leadership was exemplified by his toughness," said Namath. "He was a demanding mentor and certainly made me a better quarterback. I miss that smile of his."

Career statistics
Trammell set multiple records during his career at Alabama, mostly during his senior season. 1,314 total yards in a single season with 1,035 passing yards was, at the time, a school record. At the conclusion of his final season, he would hold the record as the winningest quarterback in the entire Crimson Tide history, compiling a 26–2–4 record for a .875 winning percentage as a starter. This record stood 33 years until it was broken by Jay Barker

Currently, Trammell still holds two records at the university. Having thrown only two interceptions out of 133 passes in 1960 is currently the lowest interception percentage at just 1.5%, setting the single season record.

In Bryant's autobiography ''The Bear'', he stated that the day Pat died was "the saddest day of my life."
After Coach Bryant celebrated his 300th college football victory, in 1980, a reprint of an interview by author Clyde Bolton was published in ''The Birmingham News'' when he was reflecting back on his success as a football coach, leader and mentor. During this interview he was put on the spot and asked if he had a "favorite player." Coach Bryant named off a number of players that he thought of highly during the previous 22 years at Alabama and during his 30 year coaching career. He took a pause at that point and said, " owYou'll have to forgive me here for getting sentimental." He then responded in turn with a deliberate answer to the question, " ....
