In 2021, Pettaway hauled in 50 receptions for 794 yards and seven touchdowns.
Here’s what 247Sports recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna had to say about the speedy playmaker:
Projects to a high level multi-year Power Five starter at the next level that has the ability to be featured early in his career because of his ability to stretch the field. Expect him to contribute early in the return game as well at the next level. Has room to continue to develop as a route runner but has an excellent day one foundation with his speed.
