Devin Pettway brings rangy, three-star linebacker upside to Jacksonville State
Devin Pettway is a 6-foot-1/6-foot-2, 215-pound freshman linebacker for Jacksonville State in the 2026 season who signed as a three-star prospect after earning All-State honors at Mary G. Montgomery. In his final high school season, he posted 43 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery, which points to a steady, disruptive defender with a nose for the ball. He also drew 16 Division I offers, a nice little signal that the market liked the traits: size, range, and production. If your team wants a disciplined, developmental LB with upside and proven high-school pedigree, Pettway is a fit.
