Where Does Pitt Sit in the Rivals Team Recruiting Rankings After Big Official Visit Weekend?
The Pitt football program’s first official visit weekend is historically successful in terms of commitments and that was no doubt the case this year.
Starting on May 27 and ending on May 30, Pat Narduzzi and his staff hosted a large group of players on official visits, and they got what they wanted — a ton of commitments.
In fact, Narduzzi and Pitt received 10 commitments (9 publicly announced) and more could be on the way in the upcoming days.
Taking a look at Pitt’s Class of 2027, Pitt holds 18 commitments with 11 being offensive players and seven on defense.
Prior to this weekend, Pitt ranked 55th in the Rivals team recruiting rankings, but jumped up to 40th after the news of the nine new publicly announced additions.
