Benny Patterson brings power, production, and real upside to Michigan’s defensive front
Benny Patterson entered Michigan as a 2025 recruit with a strong high-school résumé: in the 2024 season at Castle, he logged 70 tackles, 14.0 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and a touchdown in 12 games. He’s a disruptive, high-motor DL who flashes edge-to-interior versatility, finishing plays with intensity and a knack for splash moments. For a team, that means a player with physical upside and pass-rush juice, though he’s still developing into a college-ready body and role.
