Pitt Predicted to Miss on Four-Star DE Dominic Kirks

The Pitt Panthers are expected not to land Dominic Kirks.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers got four-star defensive end Dominic Kirks to move up his visit to Pittsburgh by a week, cancel a visit to another school the following weekend and put them in his final five, but their luck in recruiting him may be running out. 

Kirks, who will choose between Pitt, Washington, Nebraska, Kentucky and Wisconsin at the end of this week, is not expected to pick the Panthers, according to 247Sports recruiting insider Allen Trieu. He assigned a "crystal ball" prediction that has Kirks selecting Washington. 

Trieu's predictions tend to be reliable - he has made 622 correct predictions for where 2024 prospects will land out of 668 total attempts, a 93.11% hit rate. His specialty is Midwest recruiting, meaning the Cleveland, Ohio native, Kirks falls under his jurisdiction. 

Kirks, a 6'5 and 250-pound edge defender, is rated as a four-star prospect by On3 and 247Sports. On3 ranks him as high as the No. 11 player in Ohio and the No. 28 defensive lineman nationally in the class of 2024.

The 6'5, 250-pound junior has already been out to Seattle to see Washington twice this spring and summer and visited Ohio State, Cincinnati, Wisconsin and West Virginia earlier this year.
