Devin Pettaway Devin Pettaway 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Mary G. Montgomery | 2026 State AL is a versatile LB who has dominated all across Mary G. Montgomery’s defensive front the last few years.

“Pettaway is dominant at EDGE and completely dominates the line of scrimmage- he plays with impressive speed, bend, and power that completely overwhelms OTs and helps him get into the backfield to make plays. Against the run, Pettaway does an excellent job setting the edge and fighting off multiple blockers to get his hands on the ball carrier- he plays with a ton of intensity and does everything he can to close in and stop the run.

Pettway is just as dominant against the pass- he’s a productive pass rusher who generates tons of pressure and can also make some huge plays off-ball out in coverage. I’m seriously impressed with Pettaway’s film, and think that a lot of teams will be reaching out soon- he’s highly versatile and can hurt offenses in a lot of ways.“

Pettaway had a huge season last fall, ending his junior year with 81 total tackles (51 solo, 9 for loss), 3 FF, 2 INTs, 8 PBUs, 5 hurries, and one sack.

A few days back, Pettaway announced he had narrowed down his list to three schools: Tulane, Louisiana, and Jacksonville State. It’ll be exciting seeing where he heads next, in the meantime, watch some of his film below:
