Pitt Football’s First ’11 Verbal

Filed under: Football,Recruiting — Chas @ 10:39 pm

And the honor goes to Sam Collura, a TE from DeMatha in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Not a high-starred prospect at either recruiting site, but there seemed to be a lot of interest — without offers. He is part of another loaded group at DeMatha.

Pitt’s junior weekend just happened to coincide with a Nike Football Combine in Pittsburgh.

More than 500 prospects from states as far away as Tennessee and Kentucky in addition to Canada came out to compete.

Corey Jones of Penn Hills (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Jermaine Thornton of Erie East (Erie, Pa.) posted the top 40-yard dash time and vertical jump respectively at the event.

A 5-foot-8, 158-pound rising sophomore, Ross Douglas of Avon (Avon, Ohio), was another underclassman that turned heads on Saturday.

There’s a list of the top-7 standouts from the event.

Hopefully Pitt will nab a few more early commits from the weekend.





6’3″ / 260 already? The kid is destined to be an Offensive Lineman.

Reed, I agree. When I read who the first recruit was, my initial thought was not another TE .. but then I’m thinking what the staff projects this kid to be in a couple of years with some proper weight training. Plus, a TE usually will be more athletic than a bulky OL candidate.

Welcome to Pitt, Sam! Great choice.

I agree with the above posters. Seems like a OG or C to play next to the Sacco kid from Don Bosco in this year’s class.
