Jacksonville State’s steady anchor at center
In the 2004 season, John Pettus earned Associated Press All-American honors for Jacksonville State, a strong signal that he was more than just a serviceable interior lineman[3][9]. He was also listed as the starting center, and his value comes from the kind of trench work that doesn’t always light up a box score: stability, leverage, and leadership in the middle of the line[1][5]. If you need a reliable tone-setter who can help a run game and protection unit stay organized, Pettus looks like a smart fit.
