Remember K.C.?

K.C. Patterson is a young man in perpetual motion. One school to the next.
But Patterson has a new home now – at Division I-A Akron in the heart of Ohio – and the quarterback grins at the notion of finally unpacking for more than a few months. Patterson is a vagabond athlete if the area ever has seen one, having experienced every bit of the business of football while getting a nifty tour of the country.
He started his academic and athletic career at Granite Bay High School, then switched to nearby Oakmont for a fresh start and a chance to start. He started as a senior in 2004. He was so motivated to get a head start on college, he graduated in December of that year, weeks after football and months before the rest of his class accepted diplomas. Patterson attended the University of San Diego and dreamed of playing for former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh.
That marriage didn’t last long. After one season on the bench, Patterson departed for a better depth-chart situation and a chance to play at home at Sacramento State in 2006. He arrived as a walk-on and landed a scholarship under coach Steve Mooshagian. But he was on the move after Mooshagian was let go following the 2006 season.

You don’t transfer schools that many times when you’re a great player. Best of luck in broadcasting!!
Got to like the kids perseverance. If he wants to play football at the highest level, good for him. Lets hope he does well so we can lay claim to him.
Wouldn’t perseverance have been staying in the place you committed to and working your ass to succeed? Moving to a third school in three years just sounds dumb to me. Akron has some decent QBs at the moment too. I hate to say it, but he’ll probobly spend the next two years rotting on the bench 2,000 miles from home. If it were me, I’d rather rot 15 miles from home. J/K best of luck. How much $$$ do we need to get a new site up!?
Didn’t Sperbeck cut him?
KC was not good in high school. He was bad at I-AA non scholarship San Diego. And the only joke bigger than his career at Sac State and now Akron is his father - a man who has solicited interest in the poor kid on message boards across the nation. This poor kid is Tod Marinavich without talent.
Way to go Ike. Put a kid down for trying. That sure shows class.
