Coach Wannstedt was looking to be around the number 20 in how many recruits for this class. The class size is now at 22. Pitt added an offensive lineman.

Wannstedt asked [C.J.] Davis to take an official visit to Pitt this weekend, and told him a scholarship offer would be waiting. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound two-way lineman said he will make a verbal commitment to the Panthers.

“Honestly, I really didn’t think they were going to offer, so I was about to commit to Boston College,” Davis said. “Coach Wannstedt came to see me for the first time and offered me. That really made me want to come.”

Davis chose Pitt over Akron, Boston College, Bowling Green and Kentucky. A three-year starter on the defensive line who was named to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Terrific 25 and All-Class AAA teams as a senior, Davis said he will play guard or center at Pitt. New offensive line coach Paul Dunn was recruiting Davis for Kentucky.

I’m happier they added an offensive line prospect than the fact that he was another WPIAL product. For the record, about one-third of this class is from WPIAL schools. Davis also had offers from Wisconsin and West Virginia. Davis would appear to be something of a “diamond in the rough” recruit. Not highly ranked nationally, but Pantherlair.com had him in their top 50 players in Pennsylvania.
