PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers won't have to do much work when defensive lineman commit Francis Brewu comes to town this week. In fact, they might even be able to use him as an extra set of hands while they welcome a new crop of visitors over the weekend. 

Brewu, a 6'3 and 265-pound defensive lineman from Cincinnati, Ohio, will begin his official visit this week. He'll see the campus and his future coaches again but will also play a key role in helping the Panthers land the uncommitted prospects who will be in town at the same time. 

Brewu is rated as a three-star prospect by On3, Rivals and 247Sports. He held offers from Duke, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Northwestern, Iowa State, Boston College and others. 

He was just the fifth player to commit to the Panthers during this class, which is now 13 players strong and ranks in the top 20 of both Rivals and 247Sports' national rankings.
