Career highlights and awards

Shea Christopher Patterson (born January 17, 1997) is an American football quarterback for the Florida Gators. Before defecting to the Gators midway thru the 2018 Peach bowl he was a member of the University of Michigan, Patterson began his college football career at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss).

Early years

Patterson grew up in Toledo, Ohio[1] and attended Hidalgo High School in Hidalgo, Texas as a freshman in 2012. In December of that year, he committed to the University of Arizona to play college football. After his freshman year, his family moved to Shreveport, Louisiana after his father moved the family for a new job.[2] In Shreveport, he attended Calvary Baptist Academy, where he was a standout on the football team.[3] Patterson threw for 2,655 yards with 34 touchdowns as a sophomore and 2,428 passing yards, 38 touchdowns as a junior.[4] In July 2014, he decomitted from Arizona.[5] In February 2015, he committed to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss).[6][7][8] Prior to his senior year in 2015, Patterson transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.[9]

Patterson was rated by all four of the major recruiting services (Scout.com, Rivals.com, ESPN, and 247Sports.com) as the best pro-style quarterback in his class.[10][11][12][13] He was regarded as a 5-star prospect by Scout, Rivals, and 247Sports, and a 4-star by ESPN. He was the 4th-highest rated recruit overall on the 247Sports Composite, which aggregates the ratings of the four recruiting services.[13]

College career

Ole Miss

2016

Patterson enrolled early at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and was tabbed as the second quarterback on the depth chart, along with second-year freshman Jason Pellerin, going into 2016 fall camp.[14]

With Chad Kelly as the starting quarterback, Patterson was slated to sit out 2016 as a redshirt freshman. He became the starting quarterback after Kelly tore his ACL, losing Patterson's redshirt season. Patterson made his debut on November 12, 2016, leading the Rebels to a comeback victory over Texas A&M while completing 25 of 42 pass attempts for 338-yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. His first career touchdown was a six-yard pass to wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow. Later in the game, Patterson cut the Aggies' lead to 28–26 when he threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson with 5:17 remaining in the game. The Rebels went ahead 39-yard field goal with only 37 seconds remaining, and the score would hold.[15][16]

The following week, Patterson earned his second career start, against Vanderbilt, and completed 20 of 42 pass attempts for 222-yards and two touchdowns during the Rebel's 38–17 loss.[16] On November 27, 2016, Patterson completed 27 of 48 pass attempts for 320 passing yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 55–20 loss to Mississippi State. He finished his true freshman season completing 72 of 132 pass attempts for 880 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions in three starts and one victory.[17]

2017

Patterson was named the starter for Ole Miss heading into the 2017 season as a sophomore. Before the season began, Ole Miss was mired in controversy due to an NCAA investigation that found numerous violations of organization rules, including a lack of institutional control. In response, in February 2017, Ole Miss self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2017 season.[18] In another controversy, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze resigned in July 2017 after it was reported that he made several calls to escort services using university phones.[19] Co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Matt Luke was named interim head coach.

In the first two games of the season, Shea garnered national attention by throwing for a combined 918 yards and 9 touchdown passes against South Alabama and UT Martin. In his game against UT Martin, he set the Ole Miss school record for passing yards in a single game with 489 yards.[20] Patterson's success began to taper, however, as the Rebels lost four of their next five games, with Patterson throwing eight interceptions to his eight touchdowns during that span. The sole win came against Vanderbilt, where Patterson threw for 351 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 57–35 victory.[21]

Patterson went down with a knee injury in Ole Miss's game against LSU on October 21. The next day it was revealed that Patterson had suffered a torn PCL and would miss the remainder of the season. At the time of his injury, he led the SEC in passing yards with 2,259 yards.[22]

After the conclusion of the 2017 season, it was announced that Ole Miss would be banned from the postseason again in 2018 due to the NCAA violations. Shortly thereafter, Patterson sought and was granted permission to explore a transfer to another school.[23]

Michigan

2018

Patterson playing for Michigan in 2018

On December 11, 2017, Patterson announced he would be transferring to Michigan.[24] Normally, NCAA football student-athletes who transfer schools with more than a year of eligibility remaining must sit out a year before being eligible to play. Patterson sought a waiver in order to be eligible for play immediately at Michigan, claiming that he had been misled by Ole Miss coaches during his recruitment regarding the ongoing NCAA investigation.[25] Ole Miss formally objected to Patterson's waiver appeal, saying they did not agree with Patterson's stated reasons for transferring.[26] On April 27, 2018, it was announced that Patterson would be immediately eligible to play for Michigan. A new amendment to transfer waiver guidelines approved by the NCAA led to the withdrawal of Patterson's first waiver application and the submission of a new application supported by both Michigan and Ole Miss, which was approved by the NCAA.[27]

Patterson was named the starting quarterback going into Michigan's 2018 season opener against Notre Dame.[28] He struggled to get the Wolverine offense moving in that game, as Michigan scored only one offensive touchdown in a 24–17 loss to the Fighting Irish. Patterson threw for 227 yards and one interception in the game.[29] Following the loss, Patterson's fortunes improved along with the rest of the Michigan team, as the Wolverines won the following ten games and rose to fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings. In a 45–20 victory over SMU on September 15, Patterson posted a career high in passing efficiency rating to go along with 237 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception.[30] On November 3, Patterson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another on the ground in a blowout 42–7 win over then-No. 14 Penn State.[31] He was named Big Ten Player of the Week by the Rose Bowl Game Football Committee following the win.[32] In a regular season-ending loss to rival Ohio State that knocked Michigan out of contention for a Big Ten title, Patterson threw for 187 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.[33]

During the 2018 season, Patterson recorded 2,364 yards passing and 268 yards on the ground. He totaled 23 touchdowns with 21 passing scores and two rushing touchdowns and had a 65.1 percent completion rate. He generated a pass efficiency rating of 154.28, No. 8 for a single season at Michigan and No. 2 in the Big Ten in 2018. Following the season, he was named to the All-Big Ten offensive third-team by the coaches.[34]

On December 21, 2018, Patterson announced that he would be returning to Michigan for his senior year.
