After former Head Softball Coach Todd Bradley recently stepped down to focus on his health, Alabama State names Camise Patterson the 8th Head Coach of the program. The announcement was made by Alabama State University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Dr. Jason Cable.
“I am beyond excited to welcome Camise to the Bama State family,” Cable said. “What she did in a relatively short time at FAMU was remarkable. As we got to know Camise during this process, her core values, passion for the game, and the student-athlete experience directly aligned with what we want to accomplish at ASU. The future of Bama State softball is bright under her leadership.”
Last season Patterson was the Head Coach of the Florida A&M Rattlers where she helped lead them to a SWAC East Division Title. Patterson was also last season’s SWAC Coach of the Year.
“I am deeply honored and grateful to be the next Head Softball Coach at Alabama State University,” Patterson said. “Being able to continue coaching the sport I love is a true blessing from God. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Cable and the search committee for their confidence in my abilities and this incredible opportunity. I’m excited to build on the program’s past success and look forward to being part of the SWARM!”
Throughout Patterson’s time at Florida A&M University she was elevated from volunteer to assistant coach to head coach. Before Florida A&M, Patterson also had a brief coaching stop at Bethune-Cookman in 2020.
Patterson played college softball at Campbell University.
