Our Take:
Luke Winstel
Patt-Henry has an impressive record as a pass catcher at the high school level. He’s posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and scored 14 touchdowns in 12 games this fall.
The four-star’s combination of elite size and ability to win 50/50 balls on the boundary helped him earn the trust of his quarterback and become a focal point in First Baptist Academy’s offense since his sophomore season.
Patt-Henry moves well for his size and can develop into a reliable target for Cade Klubnik in the Clemson offense. With Davis Allen and Luke Price moving on, Patt-Henry could even project as the TE2 behind Jake Briningstool next season at Clemson.
Morgan Thomas - Pass catching tight end. Has experience in spread offense. Playing in screens. Long strides and a deep ball threat. Physical outside receiver who can win 1 on 1s. Really like his combination of size and speed. Can stretch the field.
