The Panthers have extended a preferred walk-on offer to 2023 IMG Academy quarterback David Lynch. Lynch was a three-sport standout in baseball, basketball and football at powerhouse Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, Rhode Island before transferring to IMG Academy for a post-graduate year. He was offered by the University of Rhode Island earlier today.

Steel Valley High School standout and Pitt safety target Cruce Brookins is taking an official visit to the South Side today to meet with the Panthers, according to a report from Pittsburgh Sports Now. Brookins, a three-star prospect, has narrowed his choices to three schools - Cincinnatti, Pitt and Syracuse. He will announce where he'll play college football six days from now during the early signing day.

His team is back in Pittsburgh, staying fresh and preparing for the Sun Bowl against No. 18 UCLA. But That game is still more than two weeks away, so Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi is using some of his spare time to check in with key recruits from his 2023 class. 

Former Kent State commit and three-star defensive lineman from West Palm Beach, Florida, Maverick Gracio is back in play after decommitting from the Flashes earlier this month. Illinois and South Florida have moved in - and already gotten him on their respective campuses - but the Panthers and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge have also made a strong push. According to a report from Panther Lair, he and Narduzzi visited him this week and Gracio has a visit to the Steel City scheduled for this weekend. 

In the same report, Chris Peak detailed visits Narduzzi took to see three-star running back Montravious Lloyd and receiver Lamar Seymore, a pair of Florida natives that seem like pretty solid commits at the moment.
