Tennessee added a premier player to its offense when junior college wide receiver Cordarrell Patterson (Hutchinson, Kan./Community College) picked the Vols early Wednesday morning.

The Rock Hill, S.C., native could arguably be the top JUCO skill player in the 2012 class and was pursued by a handful of SEC teams, including Auburn, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss.

The addition of Patterson gives Tennessee yet another big weapon for quarterback Tyler Bray to use in what should be a high-flying passing game if everyone remains healthy.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Patterson said Tennessee was where he felt the most comfortable and that Tennessee's staff started early with him and never stopped pursuing him.

"The first phone call came from Tennessee last year on signing day," Patterson said. "They never gave up. With some other teams, I would talk to the coaches once a week or something like that. Tennessee was different. They would call me almost every day, and they kept rolling with me. They kept sticking by me."

Tennessee could add another solid threat at wide receiver later today as the Vols are still in contention to sign No. 51 wide receiver Quinshad Davis (Gaffney, S.C.). As a junior, Davis caught 95 passes for 1,486 yards and 16 touchdowns. He took his final visit to Tennessee over the weekend.
