Three-star inside linebacker Jamie Pettway announced his top four schools on Monday afternoon.

The top four for three-star inside linebacker Jamie Pettway is set as of Monday afternoon as the Albany, Georgia native announced his trimmed list on Monday afternoon.

The top-500 talent according to 247Sports included the Yellow Jackets in his top four as they join Louisville, Missouri, and Tennessee. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound linebacker is coming off an official visit to The Flats and is expected to make his final decision next week on national signing day.

A composite three-star talent, Pettway is considered one of the top 50 players in the state of Georgia and one of the top 30 inside linebackers in the country. 247Sports likes Pettway a little more than other recruiting services, ranking him as a top 300 talent and a top 20 inside linebacker.

With his tremendous size and athleticism, it’s easy to see why so many programs coveted Pettway. The Yellow Jackets will now have a chance to convince the talented linebacker to stay home and play for the Yellow Jackets. According to his 247Sports profile, the Yellow Jackets have yet to use an in-home visit with him. Expect head coach Geoff Collins to make a visit to Pettway sometime over the course of the next few days prior to the beginning of the no-contact period that begins Sunday and runs through January 1st.
