PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers will not be able to add another big fish to their already stacked 2024 recruiting class. After a lengthy recruitment, another four-star prospect has given his verbal pledge to a Big 10 school. 

Four-star corner Koy Beasley announced this week that he had chosen Purdue over his three other finalists - Wisconsin, Rutgers and the Panthers. 

ESPN's Tom VanHaaren predicted the Panthers would beat out the Boilermakers and Badgers to earn Beasley's commitment, but that proved to be incorrect. Rutgers was listed in Beasley's top four but was not in the picture when VanHaaren published his prediction. 

Beasley's third visit to Pittsburgh came during the first weekend of June. He had already taken trips to the Steel City last September and in late March. From there, he headed to Wisconsin the following weekend and Purdue the weekend after that. Beasley has been all around the country, taking official visits to Georgia, USC, Cincinnati, Kentucky, West Virginia and Notre Dame as well.

A consensus four-star prospect from Cincinnati, Ohio by way of La Salle High School, Beasley is ranked as high as the No. 4 player in Ohio and No. 3 athlete in the class of 2024. ESPN ranked him the No. 7 player in Ohio and No. 11 athlete in his class.
