Jason Patterson is Kentucky’s compact, explosive change-of-pace back
In 2025, Jason Patterson has flashed efficient, versatile production for Kentucky, posting 225 rushing yards and a touchdown on 57 carries while adding receiving ability and special-teams value. His calling card is burst—EA Sports rates him with elite acceleration and strong agility/change-of-direction traits—which matches the film-backed impression of a low-ego runner who can create yards after contact and in space. He looks like a useful fit if you want a quick, physical back who can complement a larger lead runner, though he is more about efficient touches than workload dominance.[4][7][9]
