Former teammates will reunite for the 2025 season on the Georgia Tech football roster.
Dean Patterson, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior, will transfer from Florida International to Tech for the ‘25 campaign, Patterson announced Friday on X, formerly Twitter. Former FIU receiver Eric Rivers announced a commitment to Tech earlier this month.
Patterson caught 50 passes for 685 yards and seven touchdowns this past season, second only to Rivers among Panthers receivers. Patterson also had two rushing touchdowns and had 76 punt-return yards.
A graduate of Steinbrenner High School in Lutz, Florida, Patterson had 58 receptions for 847 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior in 2019. He then spent the 2020 campaign at Division II Findlay in Ohio. Patterson joined FIU in 2021 and has 98 career receptions for 1,406 yards.
Patterson joins Rivers, California tight end J.T. Byrne, South Carolina wide receiver Debron Gatling, North Carolina offensive lineman Andrew Rosinski, Alabama-Birmingham defensive back Kelvin Hill and Eastern Michigan defensive back Daiquan White as players who plan to transfer to Tech for the ‘25 season.
