Patterson also played two years of varsity soccer at Cranford High School.[1] At Cranford, Patterson won a Mountain Conference title as a junior and earned first-team All-Conference, first-team All-County, and was named to the All-State team.[2]

In 2019, Patterson attended Marist College to play college soccer,[3] but redshirted his entire freshman season.[2] In 2020, Patterson transferred to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo,[4] but the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During his two seasons with the Mustangs, Patterson made 27 appearances, scoring two goals and tallying three assists.[5][6][7]
