Cross Patton, son of Outkast's Big Boi, seeks spot in crowded Nevada backfield

Most of Nevada’s 22 signees in its 2022 football recruiting class will have to wait a few months to make a first impression on Wolf Pack fans.

One, though, is likely already a bit more well-known, especially among hip-hop fans.

Running back Cross Patton, who was at Oregon for three seasons, will be one of the Wolf Pack newcomers attempting to establish himself on the football field when spring camp rolls around next month.

Patton is the son of Antwan André Patton, better known as rapper and producer "Big Boi" of Atlanta-based hip hop duo Outkast.
