PITTSBURGH -- 2024 offensive lineman Moritz Schmoranzer was set on committing this week but following a visit with the Pitt Panthers, he's reconsidered when he'll make that final decision. 

Schmoranzer, a 6'5, 250-pound tackle from Roanoke, Virginia, had planned on choosing between Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, but after seeing the Panthers' facilities earlier this week, has decided to put off committing until after he's completed some official visits. It was his first trip to Pittsburgh but he plans on returning next month. 

Schmoranzer holds offers from Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Virginia, West Virginia, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Elon, James Madison, Liberty, Ohio, Old Dominion, Towson and Western Michigan. 

247Sports rated him a three-star prospect, the No. 17 player in Virginia and No. 42 offensive tackle in the class of 2024. Hailing from Germany, Schmoranzer attends North Cross High School.
