It will be the fifth season in college basketball for Patton, a 6-foot-5 guard who led the Vikings with 14.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last season. The NCAA didn’t count the 2020-21 season against anyone’s eligibility because of the uncertainty created by the pandemic, giving seniors the option of returning for an extra year.
» ARCHDEACON: Patton finally finds his place
Patton, who graduated from high school in 2017, started his career at Akron. He then spent a season at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa. He played the last two seasons at Cleveland State.
Cleveland State finished 19-8 last season and won the Horizon League tournament to earn its first NCAA tournament berth since 2009. Patton, an All-Horizon League first-team selection, was named MVP of the tournament.
The Vikings then lost 87-56 to Houston in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
