STILLWATER — The safety position already was among the most impacted groups by Oklahoma State’s transfer portal additions, and it got another boost Thursday.
Former Miami safety Zaquan Patterson, who appeared in all 13 games for the Hurricanes as a true freshman last fall, committed to the Cowboys, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot, 195-pound Patterson finished his freshman year with 19 tackles and three pass breakups, seeing his role grow as the season went on. His most productive game was the Pop Tarts Bowl, where he had five tackles against Iowa State.
Coming out of Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Hollywood, Florida, Patterson was a four-star recruit according to the 247Sports composite rankings, though he was a five-star on Rivals.
Patterson is the third defensive back added to the spring portal class, all coming from the East Coast. He joins North Carolina transfer DeAndre Boykins and East Carolina transfer Eric Fletcher, both cornerbacks.
