Jon Rhattigan

A fifth-year linebacker, Rhattigan comes to the Silver and Black after spending the first five weeks of the season on the Steelers practice squad, playing in one game as a standard elevation.

The 6-0, 236-pound linebacker has played in 53 career games over five seasons in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks (2021-23), Carolina Panthers (2024) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2025) after initially entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks in 2021.

Rhattigan owns eight total tackles on defense and 36 total tackles (26 solo) and one fumble recovery on special teams over his five-year career. His 26 solo special teams tackles since entering the league in 2021 are tied for the 11th most in the NFL over that span. Last season with the Panthers, Rhattigan led the Panthers with a career-high 12 special teams tackles (six solo), tied for the sixth most in the NFL.

The Naperville, Ill., native played three seasons at Army (2018-20) and as a senior was the program's first-ever semifinalist for the Bednarik Award, given to the nation's top linebacker.
