Patterson’s back and making plays: a veteran CB with ball skills and pop
Adrian Patterson is a fifth-year cornerback for Southeast Missouri State who brings real slot-to-boundary versatility, reliable tackling, and disruptive instincts. In the 2025 season, he started the first 10 games, posted 49 tackles, added a team-high 7 pass breakups, forced 2 fumbles, and picked off a pass—production that screams “cover guy who also wants contact.” He also returned from a shoulder injury that wiped out most of 2024, so the bigger story is resilience: he’s back, healthy, and playing like a steady, physical piece in SEMO’s secondary.
