Pitt Makes Final Three for Four-Star DE
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers have made the final cut for a four-star defensive end from Florida.
Elias Rudolph, a 6'3 and 200-pound edge defender in the class of 2024 out of Deerfield Beach High School, will make his final college decision on July 3rd and pick between Pitt, Miami and Michigan, he told Rivals' John Garcia Jr. this week.
Pitt made Rudolph's top five in May and earned a visit from the blue-chip defensive end in early June. He also visited Penn State and Michigan, who made his list of finalists alongside Ohio State and Cincinnati.
Rudolph held offers from Florida State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Iowa, Purdue, Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Boston College, West Virginia and others that he spurned for those five finalists.
Rudolph, a 6'3 and 200-pound backer, is ranked as high as the No. 4 player in the talent-rich Sunshine State (Rivals) and No. 15 linebacker (247Sports). ESPN ranks them as high as the No. 150 player in the country.
