Linebacker, #47 Peyton Pelluer

Pelluer comes from some football legacy. His father played 5 years in the NFL (New Orleans Saints) and his uncle played 8 years in the NFL (Dallas Cowboys & Kansas City Chiefs).

With that said, Pelluer is creating his own legacy at Washington State, leading the entire defense with tackles. He currently has 98 total tackles (57 solo; 41 assisted). And, 11 tackles were for a loss.

He’s also racked up 2 passes broken up, 2 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Playing out of Washington, Pelluer was a 4-star recruit by ESPN and a 3-star recruit by Rivals.

Pelluer is a redshirt sophomore and listed at 6’0″ and 227 pounds.
