Scout Report
The 6-4 shooting guard from Connecticut has college coaches from coast to coast taking notice, and it's easy to see why when you watch him operate on both ends of the floor.
Background
Hailing from Oakdale, Connecticut, Patrick Otey made the move to St. Thomas More, positioning himself in one of the nation's premier basketball programs. At STM, he's part of an elite squad that includes Alabama-bound London Jemison and fellow highly-ranked 2027 prospects DJ Hawkins and Greyson Pierce. This high-level environment has accelerated his development and put him on the national radar.
Playing Style
Otey brings ideal size for the shooting guard position at 6-4, combining length with smooth perimeter skills that make him a versatile offensive weapon. His ability to shoot from multiple levels keeps defenses honest, while his size allows him to create mismatches against smaller guards. What sets him apart is his basketball IQ and court awareness, showing the ability to make plays for teammates when defenses key in on his scoring ability. Playing alongside elite talent has sharpened his decision-making and elevated his two-way impact.
Recruitment
With eight Division I offers already in hand, including prestigious programs like Syracuse, Villanova, and Creighton, Otey's recruitment is heating up early in his high school career. His national ranking at #43 in the 2027 class reflects his upside as a versatile guard who can contribute immediately at the high-major level. The combination of his size, skill set, and winning environment at St. Thomas More projects him as a player who could develop into a go-to scorer at the college level.
