physical, low-miles RB with upside at UAB
Patterson is a 5'9", 200-pound redshirt freshman running back at UAB who has not appeared in games yet, so his value is mostly projection right now rather than production[7][2]. His calling card is size-driven power and downhill intent, backed by a strong high-school résumé that included heavy workload production and all-state recognition, which suggests he can handle contact and volume if the college game slows down for him[12][14]. If you want a back with built-in toughness and development upside, he’s worth a look; if you need an instant impact stat-sheet threat, he’s still a wait-and-see fit[7][14].
