UPDATE (4:44 PM)-

**Very interesting offer made today by Pitt as they offer another quarterback. Devin Leary from Sicklerville, New Jersey has picked up an offer from the Panthers. This comes two days after they offered Ohio quarterback Chase Wolf and had Washington DC quarterback Kevin Doyle in for Junior Day.

247 Sports rates Leary (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) as a 3-star recruit with offers from West Virginia, Wake Forst, Rutgers, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Baylor, Boston College and Maryland. Last weekend, Leary attended Junior Day at West Virginia.

How about these stats last season for Leary: 3,688 passing yards, 48 touchdowns and only four interceptions. His strengths are his arm strength and his accuracy.

Very interesting offer.

UPDATE (4:15 PM)-

**Another visitor this Saturday will be Penn Hills wide receiver Julian Major.

UPDATE (4:03 PM)-

**Late last week, Pitt extended an offer to a wide receiver from Milledgeville, Georgia. Jatavious Harris (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) is a Rivals 3-star wide receiver with offers from Florida, Miami, South Carolina, Oklahoma State and Tennessee.

Today, I caught up with Harris and asked him about the offer from Pitt.

“I was happy when I got the offer.  I was actually talking to Coach Narduzzi everyday so I knew it was going to come eventually,” said Harris.

“Coach Narduzzi is a great guy and he likes to get to know people, he just doesn’t throw out random offers to anyone, he is a great guy. Pitt is a school that I will consider.”

**Ohio offensive lineman Jimmy McKenna, who holds an offer from Pitt, had to cancel and will not be attending Pitt’s Junior Day this weekend.
