2025 4-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn is a busy man this spring/summer, as one of the more sought-after defensive prospects in the 2025 cycle will make his way to College Station during Texas A&M’s spring practice season on Saturday, April 13.
However, according to Rivals’ Landyn Rosow, Pettijohn will return to CSTAT this summer on Saturday, June 22. He will join a long list of 2025 visitors and provide head coach Mike Elko and his staff with the opportunity to lay their groundwork while battling the Texas Longhorns for Pettijohn’s eventual commitment.
During his 2023 junior season at McKinney (TX) HS, Pettijohn could not be stopped, recording 120 tackles, ten tackles for loss, three sacks, five pass breakups, and an interception. Possessing elite instincts as an off-ball linebacker, Pettijohn’s speed and second-level burst set him apart as a pass rusher off the edge.
According to 247Sports Composite, Pettijohn is currently the 38th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the fourth-ranked linebacker, and the ninth-ranked player in Texas.
Standing at 6-2 and 210 pounds, Pettijohn possesses an NFL frame with room to add healthy weight. Due to his previous play at safety, Pettijohn is an exceptional open-field tackler with the speed and instincts to excel as a three-down linebacker at the next level.
2025 LB Target Riley Pettijohn will be taking an official visit to Texas A&M June 22nd.
