Trey Petty is a developmental QB with legit dual-threat upside
In the 2024 season, Trey Petty redshirted at Illinois and did not appear in a game, so the story is still more projection than production. What makes him interesting is the profile: a three-star QB recruit with dual-threat traits, a sturdy 6-foot, 205-210-pound frame, and strong high-school production that included over 3,500 total yards and 47 total touchdowns in his junior year. He looks like a fit for a program that values upside, patience, and athleticism over instant polish.
