Pitt Recruiting Plenty Of Cornerbacks
Anyone that watched Pitt this season knows that help in the secondary is needed. The two ways that can happen will come from the younger players on the roster and also through recruits in the Class of 2017.
Over the last couple of months, we’ve heard names of plenty of players that have received offers and also players that the Pitt staff is evaluating that eventually could get offered.
Here’s a list of some cornerbacks that Pitt is involved with that you should keep keep track of:
Lamont Wade (5-9, 185 lbs): The Clairton 5-star recruit has been Pitt’s top overall recruiting target in the Class of 2017. Pitt is on his short list.

Ambry Thomas (5-10, 160 lbs) & Donovan Johnson (5-10, 176 lbs): Two 4-star recruits from Detroit. Coach Sims and Coach Hill have recruited these two players for well over a year. Both players have visited Pitt and expressed interest but Pitt isn’t a likely landing spot.
