PITTSBURGH -- He just named the Pitt Panthers to his top five and he will now get a closer look at the program during his official visit, which is scheduled for next month. 

Elias Rudolph, a four-star linebacker from Deerfield Beach, Florida will visit Pittsburgh from June 1st to the 3rd, per a report from Karl Ludwig of Pittsburgh Sports Now. Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan will also receive visits from Rudolph. Cincinnati is also in his top five. 

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.
