Darreyl Patterson (b. Aug. 6, 1995) is an athletic defensive back who originally signed with K-State out of high school in 2015, but ended up going the community college route.
He held true to his original commitment, though, picking the Cats over offers from Arkansas State, Louisiana-Monroe and UCF, and will compete for playing time and possible starting duties in the defensive backfield in 2018.
Patterson played two seasons under head coach Clay Patterson at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, where he was regarded as the 16th-best community college cornerback in the Class of 2018 by ESPN.
