Lobo Linebacker with Legacy Pedigree and High School Credentials
Pettus is a freshman linebacker for New Mexico who brings impressive high school credentials—First Team All-State honors, 112 career tackles, and 11.0 TFLs as a senior at Volcano Vista. He's still developing at the college level after limited 2025 playing time on special teams, but his athletic foundation is solid with multi-sport experience in track and powerlifting. His father played defensive back for the Lobos (2002-05), giving him program familiarity and a winning mentality. Best fit for teams seeking a developmental prospect with strong tackling instincts and family commitment to the program.
