Jason Patterson, Class of 2024 RB, flips commitment from Cincinnati to SEC East program

Class of 2024 running back Jason Patterson announced Tuesday morning that he is flipping his commitment from Cincinnati to Kentucky.

When asked why he’ll be moving on from his commitment he’s held since August, Patterson insisted that he wants to play in the conference where the best players in the country compete. Obviously, there’s a step-up in competition from the Big 12 to the SEC.

Patterson hails from Sneads HS in Florida and is a 3-star prospect, standing at 5-11, 200 pounds. Kentucky and Vanderbilt were his only SEC offers.
