Tyson Petty brings explosive, big-play upside to Gardner-Webb’s receiver room
Tyson Petty is a proven vertical threat for Gardner-Webb, with a career profile built on speed and chunk-play ability; ESPN lists him at 21 catches for 330 yards and a touchdown, averaging 15.7 yards per catch, while Gardner-Webb’s game notes once dubbed him a “speed demon” after a breakout freshman debut with 66 yards and a TD. His value is less about volume and more about stretching defenses, creating matchup stress, and adding suddenness to an offense—making him a smart fit for teams that want a receiver who can change field position in a hurry.[7][3]
