PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers made the top five for four-star defensive lineman Dominic Kirks last week but they'll still face some stiff competition to land his commitment. 

Kirks, who visited Pitt during the first week of June and, by all accounts enjoyed his time in Pittsburgh, is in Seattle this week to visit with the Washington Huskies, another member of his top five alongside Nebraska, Kentucky and Wisconsin. 

Kirks, a 6'5 and 250-pound edge defender, is rated as a four-star prospect by On3 and a three-star player by 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 this spring and visited Ohio State, Cincinnati, and West Virginia earlier this year. Kirks made the trip out west after visiting Wisconsin last weekend.
