As you read this, Dante Pettis is probably taking pictures or reading about cats. Maybe both. | The News Tribune

To his father, he’ll always be the curly-haired boy running around the house. To his sister, he’s the candy-eating fiend who was once a Backstreet Boy in training. To his teammates, he’s a “renaissance man.”

Dante Pettis just views it all as being, well, himself.

Anyone following No. 11 Washington (10-2) or college football in general knows Pettis for being the star receiver who holds the NCAA record for most punts returned for touchdowns. He’s more than that.

Pettis views the world through a literal lens, given he takes his camera everywhere. He has a peculiar fondness for cats, will change his hair color(s), possesses a genuine interest in how the world works and has experienced life while still being grounded by his Catholic faith.
