Auburn football has had a history of successful players who, after they finish up their playing days, have gone on to be coaches for the standouts of the future. One former Tiger is continuing that journey, as he steps into a new position on the gridiron.

[autotag]Kam Pettway[/autotag]was announced as the new offensive coordinator for Charles Henderson High School on Friday, his next step following a stint at Vincent High School in 2023.

Pettway played on the Plains under former coach [autotag]Gus Malzahn [/autotag]from 2014-2017. After being redshirted the first season, he went on to play in 28 games for the program and made 10 starts during his career.

He earned First Team All-SEC honors in 2016 after a season where he ranked No. 12 nationally in rushing average and was a Doak Walker Award semifinalist. Pettway returned as a starter in 2017 before he was plagued by injuries and missed the entire back half of the season.

He declared for the 2018 NFL Draft where he went undrafted and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. After a short time in the World Indoor Football League in 2019, he signed into a short time of the Fútbol Americano de México before the 2021 season.

Pettway has since held coaching positions at Central-Phenix City High School, Banks Academy and Vincent before now moving onto Troy to help coach the Charles Henderson Trojans.

He helped lead the Vincent Yellow Jackets to a playoff appearance in Class 2A in the 2023 season.
