About your football coach

I’m Byers Petty, a former two-time state champion from Westlake High School, where I played linebacker and developed a strong, defensive-minded approach to the game. During my time at Westlake, I earned First Team All-State honors, received multiple college offers, and was honored to be named team captain my senior year. Football has shaped who I am—both on and off the field. It taught me discipline, toughness, and how to lead in high-pressure moments. While my roots are on the defensive side of the ball, I have experience and confidence coaching all positions and enjoy helping athletes grow in every phase of the game. Now, I’m passionate about giving back to the sport by developing young athletes and creating a culture built on accountability, energy, and relentless effort. Whether I’m coaching linebackers or working across the field, I bring a championship mentality, a high football IQ, and a commitment to helping every player reach their full potential.
