AMHERST, NY (WKBW) — After a record-break junior season, UB running back Jaret Patterson has made the decision to forego his senior year and declare for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Patterson announced the news via his Twitter account Monday evening.

Patterson's junior season is one he'll always remember in which he tied and/or broke numerous school, MAC, and NCAA records. He finished the shortened season with 1,072 yards on 141 carries and added 19 touchdowns. His average yards per carry and rushing touchdowns are among the best in the NCAA.
