Posted May 26, 2024
Jaiden Patterson checks in at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds entering his freshman season. He was ranked the No. 31 player in Georgia for the class of 2024 and the Tar Heels' second-highest-rated football recruit. He enrolled early at UNC and took part in spring practice. Part of what allowed Patterson to excel at blocking kicks was his background in track and field. (Inside Carolina)
