Will Petit brings size, family-football DNA, and a special-teams edge to Marshall
Will Petit is listed by Marshall in the 2026 roster as a 6-2, 198-pound redshirt freshman from Milton, Georgia, and his biggest differentiator is that he arrives with a legit football pedigree and a team-first profile built around special teams rather than empty flash. Marshall’s roster notes highlight a long line of collegiate athletes in his family, which usually translates into better habits, toughness, and less developmental guesswork. If a team wants a physical, coachable, low-drama worker who can grow into more, Petit is the kind of depth piece who can earn his way onto the field.
