That would be the bee's knees and close out the LB class for '25 (I am looking at Hill as a Jack/hybrid at both DE and LB). This kid is right near the top of the wishlist and would be a steal, though JL has put in the work to make it realistic.

I’d have a hard time deciphering that comment if I weren’t a Buckeye lol Good catch!

RILEY PETTIJOHN EYEING COMMITMENT IN FIRST WEEK OF JULY​

Ohio State’s top remaining linebacker target in the 2025 class is close to committing. Four-star Texas prospect Riley Pettijohn told Rivals this week he’ll likely make his college decision in the first week of July.

Just sayin': Both Crystal Balls are for Texas.

I’m getting more Ohio State vibes on Pettijohn right now

Pettijohn tells Rivals he will be committing next week.

Per 11w poster:

This commit would be huge, seriously huge. Our front 7 in this class is getting really close to being assembled in the next month or so. Riley would be absolutely perfect in our scheme and bias aside, he really is aside from talent. If I were him and it was a business decision...it's OSU.

JL would also start getting Hartline-esque vibes on the 'Crootin trail if he's not already. He's getting there anyways, but this would be huge.

Get Riley onboard. Would be a serious game changer, he's the next great LB if we get him here under JL and Knowles.

Imagine having the recruiting chops of Day, Hartline, Walton, LJsr and JL on the same staff. No diss to Guerrieri who has built a very good class, but I can't put him with the other names unless he lands McNutt. Frye, the jury is still out...

Have received my B10 mag from Lindy's, and there's a whole bunch of linebackers listed. Especially when you're only playing two. Yeah, I get that different D schemes call for three, but still.....and having spent several years in Texas, can state that the 'after-football' life in Texas is fairly similar to that of tOSU. Maybe not on Wall Street, but certainly in the many companies with UT CEO's. Or aTm.

Riley Pettijohn
Some of the biggest surprising news from Rivals Five-Star is that the No. 1 inside linebacker nationally might have USC and Ohio State ahead in his recruitment with Texas and Texas A&M trailing off. Whether that’s legit or a smokescreen since the Longhorns have been ahead for so long is interesting but it sure sounded legit.
Prediction: USC

Per Texas 247 insider, his sources believe Riley Pettijohn is committing on Saturday and Ohio State will be the choice.

305Buck 15 SECONDS AGO

I spoke with a source about McKinney Top247 linebacker Riley Pettijohn yesterday, and it's looking more and more like he'll be making his decision this upcoming Saturday on July 6th. This makes sense as Pettijohn has been telling the media for a few weeks that he'll be announcing his decision in early July or the first week of July. As far as where Pettijohn could be leaning, the source thinks Ohio State has the best chances of landing the Top247 'backer based off where things currently stand, but mentioned it's likely the jockeying between the group of contenders continues leading up to the decision date.
