Paris Patterson Jr. brings SEC-sized body and real depth value to SMU’s offensive line
In the 2025 season, Paris Patterson Jr. appeared in 11 games for SMU and helped an offense that averaged 283.1 passing yards per game, with the line allowing just 19 sacks, so the appeal is clear: size, depth, and functional versatility at guard/tackle. He’s a big-bodied interior OL with experience across multiple programs, which usually signals a player coaches trust to plug holes and stabilize a room. He may not be a headline-grabbing stat monster — linemen rarely are — but he looks like a sturdy, workable fit if your team wants power, experience, and dependable interior depth.
