Marcel Pettway played for Bryant University during his first two college seasons and his mindset epitomized the small school's mascot: a bulldog.
Pettway, a power forward, is only 6-foot-5 but checks in at 250 pounds and was always efficient and productive despite some physical limitations. Pettway is bringing that rough-and-tumble game to Nevada, which landed the Division I transfer on Monday. Pettway will have to sit out next season under NCAA transfer rules before having two years of eligibility left.
Since Nevada is at the maximum of 13 scholarships for the 2017-18 season, Pettway will officially be a walk-on next season and have the opportunity to earn a scholarship moving forward.
