About Drake
Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Petersen checks into our rankings as a top 5 linebacker in the class and just inside the top 20 overall. He is a true banger inside that can plug and play in between the tackles, flows well over the top while able to navigate through traffic to get into the backfield and quickly shocks/sheds blocks and is a efficient tackler that brings a punch at the POA. He flashes he can run through lead blockers and fill gaps quickly while moving well in space with change of direction and agility when moving outside the tackles in open space. He should draw plenty of D2+ attention through his senior year and is a key defender to note heading into 2026.
