[autotag]Riley Pettijohn[/autotag] is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound, four-star linebacker from McKinney, Texas, where he plays for McKinney High School. The McKinney Lions finished the 2022 season 8-5 with a loss to Southlake Carroll in the third round of the 6A D2 state playoffs.

There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Pettijohn at this time, but SMU is a 25% favorite to land him per On3.

Film Analysis: Pettijohn stars as an edge rusher from his outside linebacker spot. He is too quick for most offensive tackles to block him and he is very disruptive in the backfield.
