3* QB Kenny Pickett has become the latest Pitt recruiting verbal for the 2017 season. He had previously committed to Temple University then got a better offer and took it.
From the Trib:
“Kenny Pickett of Oakhurst, N.J., on Saturday became the first quarterback in the Class of 2017 to verbally commit to Pitt.
A three-star recruit according to Rivals, Pickett is ranked No. 22 overall — and the No. 2 quarterback — in New Jersey. An announcement on a Twitter account bearing Pickett’s name confirmed the news. Pickett, who verbally committed to Temple earlier this spring, also has offers from Boston College, Buffalo and Connecticut.
Pickett (6-foot-3, 191 pounds) threw for 1,796 yards with 19 touchdowns and three interceptions last season. He is considered a dual-threat quarterback and ran for 336 yards and five touchdowns.”
Also Sunday’s Pitt camp brought us a verbal from unranked LB Cameron Bright out of Alabama. Good for us and for them.
