James Patterson - Linebacker - Buffalo Bulls Recruiting

In addition to athlete / linbacker Jay Harrison the Bulls are pulling in another linebacker to help shore up the center of UB’s defense.

James Patterson is an inside linebacker from St. Vincent Pallotti high school in Laurel, Maryland. He committed to the Bulls late in July last year and is listed as a three star recruit by the service 247.

Patterson has good measurables for a middle linebacker. He is six foot, 230 pounds. He runs a the 40 in 4.72, benches 285, squats 475, deadlifts 335, and clean jerks 205.

He’s already as big as Jarrett Franklin and you have to think that a year of strength and conditioning could help him get up to 240 or so, where Khalil Hodge is.
