Stanford, Florida State and Tennessee. The Fellowship Christian School (Roswell, GA) native has already taken an official visit to Stanford and has OVs still set for Tennessee (June 7), Oregon (June 14), Ohio State (June 14) and Florida State (June 21), per 247Sports.
Petty also received offers from some big-time programs like Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Penn State and many more.
“Who makes me feel like a priority will separate one school for me,” Petty previously told On3. “You can tell if a school wants you on how they talk to you and I will go where I am cared about. It is about the little things for me now. These visits will show me a lot about the people and the education. Those things mean a lot to my future.”
Petty possesses some impressive athleticism, as he’s played on offense and defense while competing in wrestling as well as track and field at 6-5. 262 pounds. Last season, he posted 58 tackles (nine tackles for loss), five sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception.
Ohio State’s 2025 class already features three five-stars in cornerbacks Devin Sanchez and Na’eem Offord along with quarterback Tavien St. Clair. Adding Petty to the mix would give the Buckeyes’ arguably the best recruiting class in the nation.
“The defense is still the defense, and the defense was really great at Ohio State last year. It’s just we couldn’t start talking about it in a real way because we were still trying to figure out why they couldn’t run the ball and why it was just Marvin Harrison Jr.-or-bust for them, knowing what the wide receiver room is like. And it’s really about the offensive line, which I don’t think was that great running the ball. I think they’ll be better this year; I don’t know if they’ll be great,” Young said. “You add Caleb Downs to an already pretty stacked defense. You get guys coming back because they haven’t won a Big Ten Championship; they don’t have a set of gold pants; they don’t have a National Championship.
