Boom! After Texas A&M landed a commitment from 2025 4-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins on Friday night, fellow 2025 in-state defender, 4-star cornerback Deyjhon Pettaway, announced his commitment to the program on Saturday night.
Pettaway, whose brother is current incoming sophomore Texas A&M linebacker Daymion Sanford, has long been connected to the program since his early playing days. While former Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher was his primary recruiter, Elko’s elite defensive background has undoubtedly played a part in why he has been a favorite to land with the program since the start of his recruitment.
Taking multiple visits this month, including one on Saturday during the Aggies’ second junior day of the year, Pettaway announced via X that he was “1,000% committed.”

Earlier this month, Pettaway sat down with AggiesToday to provide more insight on his official visit to College Station, including what new head coach Mike Elko brings to the table:
“Man, the new staff is great. You can really tell they want change, the conversations hold more meaning and weight. They have the teaching, resources, mindset, and mentality to win.”
According to 247Sports Composite, Pettaway is currently positioned as the 138th player in the 2025 cycle, the 11th-ranked safety prospect (slated to stick to corner at the next level) and the 24th-ranked player in Texas.
