Eric the Red Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Player: Matt Patchan Hometown: Paris, TX Position: OL Height: 6’6” Weight: 250 40 time: 5.0 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Miami (Fl), Mississippi, Nebraska Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Bid Red Report: Assessing the talent: Per: A Step Ahead: Jim Stefani's Underclassmen Football Recruiting Blog One of the top linemen in the nation and among the elite prospects in Florida this year………Patchan announced that he will be leaving Tampa Freedom High before his senior season as his family will be moving………..Among the top linemen at the 2007 U.S. Army Combine, proving to be one of the most athletic linemen in attendance and showing off a nice frame, good feet and a nasty streak……….Still on the lean side, he has a frame with a lot of room to fill out…….Very quick (clocked a very impressive 4.44 shuttle at a 2006 combine)……A two-way player who projects as an OT in college…..On the 2006 combine circuit he did 20 bench reps, a 31.5-inch vertical, and a 4.95 forty………..A First Team Class 4A All-State selection and St. Petersburg Times First Team All-Suncoast choice as a junior…….His sophomore season he was an Honorable Mention All-Hillsborough County selection…….On film, his quick feet and ability to adjust in space stand out. He needs to get stronger and become more of a mauler, but that will come with time as he shows a lot of toughness and physical play. He has excellent body balance and comes off the ball very quickly…….His father is former Miami offensive lineman and Patriots assistant Matt Patchan Sr……….Patchan had over 15 offers by mid-January, including such programs as Miami, Florida, Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Auburn.

husker rob Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 good size with room to grow, pro blood lines, could be a nice addition to the 2 linemen we already have commitments from this class Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Maybe the move from Tampa to Texas will help increase our chances. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It will probally be easier on our coaches as they tend to do more work in the Texas area than in Florida. Plus, the kid could come watch our game against Texas down there this year. Quote Link to comment

Ohio Pete Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 you can cross this one off, he's not coming. i agree, he has his pick of the sec schools, we have zero chance. Supposedly has narrowed his list to 8 and will narrow to 5 soon according to scout. Since we no longer show as a school of interest, I'm assuming we missed the cut. And yes Hunter most of the schools listed are from the Southeast. Quote Link to comment
