Coach Treadwell about Kaleb Patterson: "We wanted to improve our team at the placekicker position. Making field goals is critical to the success of a team. Kaleb is a highly recruited young man at his position. His dad was a tremendous player in the SEC as a kicker. Kaleb comes from a championship team that played in a lot of big games, so he's been in the heat of it and came out on the positive end."
