Bethel Park standout Ryan Petras isn’t getting complacent in his sophomore season at Duquesne
Bethel Park grad Ryan Petras ‘25, a sophomore wide receiver, is one of 37 WPIAL players on Duquesne's roster. He was the NEC Offensive Rookie of the Year last season but had been quiet this year until he broke out in a 41-14 win over New Haven with career highs of eight catches, 153 yards and three touchdowns. Petras, a former three-sport star who stayed home partly because of Pittsburgh's passion for football, says he's focused on improving every day as the Dukes try to win their last three games, take the NEC title and earn a spot in the FCS playoffs.
