Benny Patterson III carries the pride of a three-generation football legacy. Emerging from Castle High School in Newburgh, Indiana as one of Indiana's most coveted defensive line prospects, he quickly earned trust within the Michigan program as a true freshman, earning a varsity letter and Scout Team Defensive Player of the Week honors. His explosive motor and elite pass-rush instincts have him positioned for a major breakout in the Maize & Blue.
