Another one of the top bigs in the 2029 class, Patterson is another prospect who attended our freshman showcase last year and our sophomore ID camp this year and was a standout at both. Patterson has quick feet and excellent length, making him a talented defender in space and able to crash the glass and score putbacks. Bishop Hartley is known for their defense and I’d expect Patterson to help protect the rim as the Hawks guards are going to be aggressive going for steals and trying to turn over the opposition.

Patterson got on our radar at the Prep Hoops Freshman Showcase where he stood out as one of the best forwards in attendance. A versatile forward, Patterson has long arms and swatted a handful of shots away that day. Bishop Hartley had a senior laden team last season and Patterson is projected to be one of their key returners for 2026-27. I expect Patterson to make a big jump from freshman to sophomore season as his best basketball is in front of him. Long term prospect to monitor from central Ohio’s 2029 class!

Patterson is a big and long player who has fluid movements. He has very high potential. Patterson will add a lot more height and possibly weight within the next four years. He is still learning his game and how to play the game, but is already a pretty good player. He finished around the rim well. He had a fastbreak poster dunk today that showed his aggressiveness and length. Patterson could be a real name to remember.
