Wayne Patterson brings a disruptive freshman frame to Jackson State’s defensive front
Patterson enters Jackson State as a **freshman defensive lineman** at **6'1", 260 pounds**, with a reputation for violence at the point of attack and production in high school that included **15 sacks, 24 tackles for loss, and 43 total tackles** in his senior season. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that values interior toughness: compact, strong, and built to hold leverage, with the upside to become a reliable downhill stopper if his technique and pad level keep improving. Jackson State lists no college stats yet, so the appeal is mostly projection and physical traits rather than proven college production.[1][9]
