Jaziun Patterson News, Rumors, Updates - Michigan State Spartans

Efficient in loss Patterson notched 11 carries for 60 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for two yards during Saturday's 16-13 loss against Iowa State.

Impact Patterson was a lone bright spot for the Iowa offense, leading the team in both rushing yards and attempts while averaging a very respectable 5.5 yards per carry. The 5-foot-10 running back took a backseat to the hot hand of Xavier Williams in the team's season opener but outpaced his fellow running back in every metric against the Cyclones, casting doubt on the pecking order of the Iowa backfield. His next opportunity to make an impact will come against UMass on Saturday.

Vying for carries Patterson is among the running backs fighting to replace Kaleb Johnson for the Hawkeyes this fall, Andrew Kulha of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Patterson is competing for a sizeable share of the Hawkeyes' backfield during fall camp as Iowa looks to replace 2025 NFL Draft selection and workhorse Kaleb Johnson. The 5-foot-10 junior logged 63 carries for 309 yards and two touchdowns across 10 outings during the 2024-25 season. Patterson and Kamari Moulton (hamstring) look to be among the favorites to lead the Hawkeyes' backfield in touches this season.

Not wearing pads in practice Patterson (undisclosed) wasn't fully dressed for Iowa's spring practice Tuesday, per HawkCentral.com.

Impact Patterson is slated to take on a large role within Iowa's backfield this season after rushing for 309 yards last fall and with Iowa needing to replace Kaleb Johnson. However, he appears limited in the Hawkeyes' spring practice period, and it's unclear at this juncture what's preventing him from participating fully.

Finds end zone in blowout win Patterson notched 10 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-10 victory against Wisconsin.

Impact Patterson found the end zone on a four-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand in favor of the Hawkeyes, capping off a dominant rivalry win. The sophomore running back has been unable to earn many opportunities this season, and with the dominance of fellow running back Kaleb Johnson, that trend is likely to continue moving forward. Patterson's next opportunity will come when the Hawkeyes travel to face UCLA this coming Saturday.

Scores in victory Patterson recorded eight rushes for 72 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-21 win versus Troy.

Impact Patterson made the most of his opportunities against Troy, averaging nine YPC on the day. The sophomore running back found the end zone on a 39-yard run in the fourth quarter, extending Iowa's lead to 17 points. Saturday marked Patterson's season debut, as he was previously held out of the team's first two games for unspecified reasons. Patterson will look to build on his positive momentum when the Hawkeyes travel to Minnesota to open conference play on Saturday.

Available and ready for Troy game Patterson (undisclosed) is "available and ready to go" for Iowa's game Saturday against Troy, David Eickholt of 247Sports reports.

Impact An undisclosed injury has limited Patterson, perhaps why he did not play during Iowa's latest game despite his participation being expected. He has been a serviceable presence in Iowa's backfield for years passed, with his 2023 including 58 carries for 206 yards and two touchdowns.

Should play in Week 2 Patterson didn't play in Week 1 due to a coaching decision but should be able to play in the Hawkeyes' rivalry game against Iowa State, David Eickholt of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Patterson's absence in Week 1 was reportedly due to a coaching decision, so the halfback should be at full capacity to play when the Hawkeyes deploy him in Week 2. There's plenty of talented tailbacks at Iowa, so he'll likely still be behind Kamari Moulton, Kaleb Johnson and Leshon Williams in the running back pecking order.
