Coming out of high school, Patchan was ranked the 22nd best strong side defensive end in his class.
Over the course of 30 outings with the Hurricanes, Patchan recorded 63 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Star? He was solid, but there are better guys behind him. Best of luck to him going further, but only a minor loss.
Star?
Would be seventh man in the rotation of 2? Sounds like fourth string to me?
He was a legacy signee, got family connections. Never a star. Got beat out by a freshman, Rousseau. Always showed up on time. Never learned how to shed blocks.
