Pettigrew refers to LSU as home. I think he's pretty solid

"I caught up with Coach Ensminger and Coach Frank when I was up there for the game this past weekend," Pettigrew said. "They can't wait to get me in. They have talked to me before about how I can do it all for them, but now they are just focused on getting me better, so they talk more about what I do wrong than what I do right."

While Miles-coached teams have been known to ride multiple tight ends throughout the game, the main responsibility is always excelling as a blocker, and tight ends haven't posted big numbers in LSU's passing attack in recent years. But for Pettigrew, the opportunity is there - which he said was evidenced by the tight ends turning in big showings in the spring game.

"I have seen many film of tight ends wide open in the game, it’s just a failure on execution with getting them the ball," Pettigrew said. "But it was great seeing that the quarterbacks got the ball to the tight ends in the spring game. I'm really excited about that.

"The visit was another good one, and I really enjoyed myself. I am definitely happy with the decision to commit to LSU."
