Ohio State football recruiting: Five-star LB Riley Pettijohn commits as Buckeyes bolster top-rated 2025 class
Pettijohn chose the Buckeyes over Texas, Texas A&M and USC in a highly anticipated announcement
By David Cobb • 1 min readOhio State added another coveted prospect to its top-ranked recruiting class on Saturday when five-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn committed to the Buckeyes live on 247Sports. Pettijohn chose Ohio State over Texas, Texas A&M and USC to give the Buckeyes yet another big win on the trail.
Pettijohn is entering his senior year at McKinney High School in McKinney, Texas. In addition to starring on the football field for McKinney, Pettijohn has excelled in track, posting a 10.7 second 100-meter dash time as a junior. That speed translates well to the football field, where he posted 125 tackles in 2023.
He also comes from a strong football pedigree. His father, Duke Pettijohn, starred on the defensive line for Syracuse from 1997-2000. Riley Pettijohn is considered the nation's No. 5 linebacker prospect by 247Sports and is ranked the No. 10 overall prospect from the state of Texas.
"Athletic volume tackler who can fit multiple off-ball linebacker roles in varying schemes," wrote 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks in an evaluation of Pettijohn. "Well-developed build with a stout, athletic base. Early on, looked like a candidate to ultimately play off the edge, but now clearly belongs as a traditional linebacker who exhibits broad pursuit range with excellent verified athleticism to bolster his long-term projection."
