PITTSBURGH -- There could be some more bad recruiting news on the horizon for the Pitt Panthers later this week. 

A four-star wide receiver in the class of 2024, Keylen Adams, is making his commitment decision later this week and is expected to commit to Virginia Tech over Pitt, Alabama, South Carolina and Ohio State, who all made his top four back in May. 

247Sports analysts Steve Wiltfong and Brian Dohn both gave crystal ball predictions for Adams to choose the Hokies when he announces his final decision later this week. Wiltfong has gotten 263 of his 271 predictions (91.57%) in the 2024 class correct and Dohn has nailed 74 of his 75 predictions (98.67%).

Adams, a unanimous four-star recruit and consensus top-three player in the class of 2024 in the state of Virginia, is also ranked as high as the No. 19 wide receiver (ESPN) and No. 158 player (On3) in the class.

The dynamic athlete from Virginia Beach and Green Run High School held offers from North Carolina, Miami, Maryland, Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, NC State, Duke, Syracuse, Virginia, Boston College and many others. 

This would be the third four-star recruit the Panthers have lost to the Hokies during this cycle, along with defensive lineman Emmett Laws and linebacker Gabriel Williams.
