PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers will be competing with some familiar faces for the commitment of 2024 three-star recruit Javier "JayJay" Etheridge, who released a list of his top 10 schools this week. 

Etheridge's list of finalists included Pitt alongside Penn State, West Virginia, Duke, Indiana, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Marshall, Toledo and Western Michigan. 

Ehteridge, a 5'10, 165-pound prospect is rated as a three-star prospect by On3 and 247Sports. On3 has him as the No. 64 athlete in this class and No. 58 player in Ohio. 247Sports has him as the No. 149 athlete and 60 player in his state. Etheridge held 12 offers in all, with Ohio State, Michigan, Louisville, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Cincinnati and Georgia Tech showing varying levels of interest but not offering. 

The Panthers' 2024 class has grown rapidly this spring, earning six commitments in late March to bring the class total to 10.
