PITTSBURGH -- National Letters of Intent have continued to roll in for the Pitt Panthers as they begin to officially welcome their 2024 recruiting class to Pittsburgh. 

Linebacker Davin Brewton was the first of six signees to finalize his letter of intent within the window. Brewton is a 6'0 and 215-pound three-star prospect from Red Bank, New Jersey by way of Red Bank Catholic High School. He's ranked as high as the No. 22 player in his state and No. 52 linebacker in the class of 2024. 

He picked Pitt over offers from Syracuse, Maryland, West Virginia, Tulane and others. Notre Dame, Penn State, Duke and Boston College expressed interest but didn't offer. He was named the New Jersey Defensive Player of the Year by NJAthletics and Shore Sports Network after leading Red Bank to a state championship and amassing 132 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. 

Following Brewton was Allen Bryant, a three-star defensive back from Florida. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, product ranked as high as the No. 51 player in Florida and No. 45 cornerback in the class. He received additional offers from Louisville, Memphis and Virginia among others. 

Next up was Juelz Goff, a consensus three-star running back hailing from York, Pennsylvania. The Central York product is the only RB in Pitt's signing class and chose the Panthers over offers from Rutgers, Penn State, Duke, Rutgers and Syracuse. He ranked as high as the No. 49 player at his position in his class and as the No. 12 recruit from the state of Pennsylvania. 

Pitt kept the ball rolling by signing one of its big fish of the class in Sincere Edwards, a defensive end from Wekiva High School in Apopka, Florida. Edwards, who stands at 6'3 and 240 pounds, is considered a four-star prospect by Rivals and signed with the Panthers over UCF, Penn State and Arkansas among others.

The Panthers then added another defensive back upon signing Davion Pritchard. Pritchard, who is from nearby Youngstown, Ohio, projects as a cornerback for Pitt and was rated as a three-star recruit across the board by all major scouting services. His other offers included Kentucky and Western Michigan. 

The final signee of the window was Adham Abouraya, a 6'5 and 280-pound offensive lineman who is also rated as a three-star prospect by each of the four major recruiting services and was ranked as the No. 30 player in Pennsylvania (247Sports). He was ranked as high as the No. 83 offensive tackle in the class of 2024.  He hails from Downington, Pennsylvania and chose Pitt over offers from Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse and West Virginia.
