2014 Booker T Washington cornerback Nigel Patten released his first top four this week.
“Florida State, West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Oregon.”
Patten chose those four schools due to their defensive schemes
“All of them play smaller and fast DBs and all of them have a 4-3 defense, which is something I can work with.”
While this list is not final, he did state why his home school, Miami, didn’t make the cut.
“They’re in my top 5, they have always been my first school but they are there.”
When asked if Miami could make it into his top four schools, Patten was honest.
“Yes, it just depends on the recruiting process, anything can happen.”
Patten does have interest in the Canes, one of the reasons being because of the local players they have.
“Mostly everybody that goes there is from south Florida, everybody is from home, so that would give me an edge in playing time and competing. I feel that if I went there I would really have to compete. I don’t wanna walk in and start I wanna work for everything I do.”
The 2014 corner does have a relationship with two current Hurricane players.
“I work out with Brandon Mcgee and Tracy Howard, they always talk to me about it.”
Patten does plan on making his decision by signing day, and talked about his decision
“I’ll probably make a decision by signing day.”
The Booker T product also talked about if his decision will be final when he chooses.
“There is probably like a 60 percent chance I’ll go to that school if I choose before signing day.”
