Three-star LB Jeremy Patton announces commitment date, crystal ball comes in

Jeremy Patton announced he will be committing on July 31. He will be in Austin the day before, giving Sarkisian another chance to close on a coveted prospect.

Steve Sarkisian added to his first class on Wednesday with four-star cornerback/safety Austin Jordan. Of the 15 commitments Texas has, seven are from the defensive side of the ball.

Another couple of players have the chance to put their names in the class on July 31. After delaying his announcement, Derrick Brown will be committing on the final day of the month. He will be joined by three-star linebacker Jeremy Patton on the same day.

A time for the decision is still to be determined.

Patton announced he will be in Austin the day before his commitment for the pool party/BBQ Bash. Sarkisian will have the last shot at the linebacker, getting another opportunity to close down on a top target.

Patton currently sports a top five list of Arkansas, Baylor, LSU, Michigan, and Texas. The two in-state schools were thought to be the favorite, but the Wolverines seem to be trending in a positive direction.

Sam Webb of TheMichiganInsider put in a crystal ball in favor of Michigan, with a confidence score of six.

Texas still leads overall in the crystal ball category, having three out of the five predictions with a confidence score of seven.

On the 247Sports composite, Patton is the No. 590 prospect in the country and No. 83 within the state of Texas. At the linebacker position, the three-star ranks at No. 63.

Michigan football recruiting is heating up as it heads into the dead period, with a bevy of commitments taking place after a series of visits in the month of June. But will July continue the Wolverines’ hot streak?

2022 Tenaha (TX) three-star linebacker/wide receiver Jeremy Patton visited Ann Arbor on June 11, and while his interests seem to be centered more on schools in his immediate region, the maize and blue impressed enough to make him think he could potentially be northern-bound.

While Texas appears to be the team to beat with a 75% prediction rate in the 247Sports Crystal Ball, Patton included Michigan in his ‘final 5’ along with the Longhorns, Baylor, Arkansas and LSU.

Patton is ranked No. 561 overall in the 247Sports Composite, the No. 62 linebacker and 84th-best player in the state of Texas.
