According to Patterson, the battle between transfer CJ Montes and redshirt sophomore Dru DeShields has been particularly intense throughout fall camp.
"It's been a very, very competitive day by day; they both have grown tremendously, and they compete with each other, you know, not against and for each other," Patterson said.
