While still early in his recruitment, Patterson only holds two offers so far, from Tennessee and Iowa State. However, that doesn’t mean that the four-star prospect isn’t known by other schools. According to his Twitter, Patterson will be visiting both Tennessee and Miami Ohio this weekend. And on Jan. 5, Patterson tweeted that he would be attending Alabama’s Junior Day on Jan. 29.
