(Patterson) played a vital role in our football team. “I just want to publicly thank Quincy for his time here,” Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente told the Daily Press. “Despite the weird timing, my decision wasn’t made hastily.” “Through thought, prayer and countless discussions with my parents and other important people in my life, I felt it was in my best interest to enter my name into the transfer portal,” Patterson wrote on his personal Twitter account. ![]() Patterson left the Hokies with two games remaining in the season, a move that was met with approval from the Virginia Tech coaching staff.
