Four-star out of state OT to visit Texas

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and area recruiter Tashard Choice made a stop Fellowship Christian School north of Atlanta in January to see one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country in the 2025 cycle. 

Since that time and the January 27 offer by the Longhorns, Sarkisian, Choice and Kyle Flood have been in weekly contact with OnTexasFootball 4-star Josh Petty  and family (Roswell, Ga./Fellowship Christian School). And now Petty is set to make his first ever visit to Texas. 

Petty is scheduled to visit Texas March 22 along with his teammate at the California Power 7v7 program. The Texas visit will follow trips to Clemson March 12, Georgia Tech March 15, Georgia March 19 and Auburn March 19. Following the trip to Texas, Petty will visit Florida State March 29.

Petty's sister that is a year older is considering attending all of those schools right now, save Texas. 

There are also family connections to the Lone Star State. Petty's father has family members living in San Angelo and Big Lake. He spent many summers at Big Lake.

The interest in Texas is both academic and athletic. Petty plans to major in finance, and both of his parents work in that field.

Petty has 40 offers entering the spring. That offer list includes SEC programs Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. 

He doubles as one of the top wrestlers in the Peach State having finished runner up each of the last two seasons in the 285 pound weight class.
