A local offensive line prospect, West Mifflin's Rico Steele, was in the South Side today checking out Pitt's practice. West Virginia, Penn State, Syracuse and others are also interested in the 6'4, 290-pound 2024 recruit.

An elite 2025 wideout picked up an offer from the Panthers this afternoon. Dorian Brew, a four-star prospect and the No. 1 player in Ohio by 247Sports' measurements, added Pitt to an offers sheet that includes Kentucky, UMass, Toledo, Eastern Kentucky and Bowling green. Ohio State has also shown interest.

Unrated 2025 wide receiver Kyle Washington also got an offer around the same time. Louisville is the only other school to extend an offer. 

7:00 AM

High school recruiting hits its unofficial home stretch over the next five days and Pitt is trying to pick up a final set of priority targets before next week's early signing day, which has become the de facto signing day for most high school recruits. 

The Panthers will have at least three prospective visitors on campus this weekend, according to reports from Panther Lair's Chris Peak, with the potential for more to join them. Three-star California receiver Israel Polk, safety Cruce Brookins and defensive lineman Maverick Gracio will be in Pittsburgh to take in the program and figure out their next move.
