is an explosive WR from Saraland that I think will have a big breakout season this upcoming fall.
“Pettway is a quick WR who thrives off his route running and ability to gain separation. He flies off the line of scrimmage, can stop on a dime and change his direction, and constantly gets wide open, making his QB’s life 10x easier. On top of that, Pettway has a great set of hands and impressive elusiveness with the ball in the open field. He can easily make defenders miss and find extra yards after the catch; it’s impressive to watch.
Pettway has also brought a ton of value to special teams as a returner. He uses the same dominant speed and vision to find lanes and take the ball upfield for great starting field position. I think we’re going to see a ton from him this next season, he’ll be hard to miss!”
Pettway put together some impressive clips you can check out below. I’m excited to see what he’ll do this upcoming fall, I think we’re all going to have to look out for him.

Larry Pettway Jr is a 2028 WR out of Saraland who put together an impressive freshman season out wide last fall.
Pettway is an explosive threat outside who can attack and create huge plays at every level of the field. I’m really impressed with Pettaway’s route running- he’s quick on his feet, gains tons of separation from DBs, and is a constant threat underneath and over the top who constantly finds ways to get open and make big plays.
Pettaway is also great at finding extra yards after the catch- he does a great job escaping tackles and making defenders miss to maximize every reception, no matter who he’s lined up against.
I’m excited to see what’s in store for Pettway this next season, he made some impressive plays last fall you can see below, and is only just getting started.

Larry Pettway Jr made a name for himself this past Saturday and will certainly be a name to look out for in the coming years- the young 2028 looks the part and could very well be the next top WR to come out of Saraland. Speed kills, and Pettway has a ton of it- he was flying around the field during drills, consistently torching DBs and coming up with some huge grabs off a wide variety of routes. I was really impressed with Pettway’s route running, he is incredibly quick, plays with a ton of twitch, and can get open at multiple levels of the field. It was also really encouraging seeing how Pettway attacked the ball- he’s got a set of really impressive hands he used to fight through contact and bring in some tough-to-catch passes while covered. I really am excited to see what is in store for Pettway this next season, he’s got a bright future ahead of him at Saraland.
