Shea Patterson Has Winning A National Championship At Michigan As His Goal

New Michigan QB Shea Patterson talked with Kyle Rowland of Toledoblade.com about his transition from being a Rebel to a Wolverine and his goal of winning a national championship:

“I’m really not one to jump ship on anything,” the Toledo native said. “But I’m really big on setting goals and achieving them. I did that throughout high school. One of the main goals was to win a national championship. At Ole Miss, I didn’t have an opportunity to do that. Things didn’t shake out the way I planned — coach [Hugh Freeze] got fired, the two-year bowl ban. I couldn’t look back on it after college and say I never got an opportunity to play for something like that.”

“Michigan’s always been in my blood, especially growing up in Toledo,” Patterson said. “I was a huge Michigan fan. My parents were and a lot of my relatives still are season-ticket holders. That really drew me to it.”

It’s still unclear if Patterson, who will have two years of eligibility left, will be able to play next season.
