A highly sought-after offensive lineman from New Mexico State, has officially committed to the University of Kentucky. The announcement came on January 19, 2025, marking a significant development in the college football transfer portal season. Standing at 6 feet 8 inches and weighing 320 pounds, Pete was previously a top target for several programs, including Nebraska and Michigan.
During his time at New Mexico State, Pete established himself as a formidable left tackle, earning All-Conference USA honors. Despite facing an ankle injury that limited his playing time in the 2024 season to just six games, he demonstrated impressive performance metrics, allowing only five quarterback pressures over 193 pass-blocking plays in 2024. His experience includes over 1,800 snaps played at left tackle over three seasons.
Kentucky’s acquisition of Pete is seen as a major boost for their offensive line as they look to enhance their performance in the upcoming season. His commitment signifies Kentucky’s continued efforts to strengthen their roster through the transfer portal, positioning them for greater competitiveness in the SEC.
