He fits really well in Jim Knowles defense. His highlight tape doesn’t show much block shedding, mostly avoiding the block by outrunning the OL or making the play in a wide open hole.
With the way Knowles likes to crash with the DL and freeing up the LBs to make plays, he should thrive. But he definitely needs to show he can take on and disengage from a blocker.

HUGE HUGE get, JL is on fire! This one was a major battle against USC and UT, very excited to come out on top. This is one of the better LB classes we've had since I have followed recruiting...Pettijohn, Alford, and Lee is redonkulous.

Five-star 2025 Linebacker Riley Pettijohn Commits to Ohio State
Five-star 2025 linebacker Riley Pettijohn commits to Ohio State, giving the Buckeyes a top-40 linebacker.
FIVE-STAR 2025 LINEBACKER RILEY PETTIJOHN COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
PETTIJOHN GIVES OHIO STATE STAR POTENTIAL AT LINEBACKER
Per 247Sports' composite rankings, Pettijohn is the No. 31 overall prospect and No. 4 linebacker in the 2025 class. He's the highest-rated linebacker recruit Ohio State has landed since C.J. Hicks in the 2022 cycle, who finished with a composite ranking of No. 7 overall and the No. 1 linebacker.Pettijohn had a massive junior season for McKinney High School (McKinney, Texas) with 120 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, three sacks, five pass breakups and one interception. As a sophomore, he racked up 42 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks and five quarterback hurries.
Pettijohn has a loaded skillset that provides him with the potential to be the next great Ohio State linebacker, which includes athleticism, top-tier instincts and closing speed. He's shown a great ability to get around blocks and into opponents' backfield on a consistent basis.
At McKinney High School, Pettijohn lined up as both an outside linebacker and a middle linebacker and had the range to perform both roles well. In coverage, Pettijohn had no issues dropping into a zone or lining up against opposing tight ends and running backs. He was also a contributor on the kickoff team and could see playing time on special teams in his first year on campus.
Pettijohn is also a successful track and field athlete, as he competes in the long jump and 100-meter dash. His profile is advanced enough to where it wouldn't be surprising to see him compete to crack the two-deep in his first year in Columbus, but given Ohio State's current linebacker situation, there's a chance he may have to wait until at least his sophomore year before he sees meaningful snaps consistently.
Riley is the son of Duke Pettijohn, who was a defensive end for Syracuse from 1997-2000 and was a two-time All-Big East selection in his collegiate career.
