UPDATE (3:44 PM)-
**Lackawanna College offensive tackle Chibueze Nwanna (6-7, 315) tells me that he will be visiting Pitt the weekend of June 8-10. Nwanna says that he will make an unofficial visit to Pitt on June 9 and then take part in their camp on the 10th.
“Pitt is a school that’s been talking to me during spring ball,” said Nwanna. “I’m coming there June 10th and hopefully if I do good at the camp (an offer might come). They seem like they are very interested, especially throughout spring ball and up to now. So far, I’ve been talking to Coach Salem and Coach Borbely.”
At this point, Nwanna has offers from Louisville and Cincinnati.
“I won’t be choosing a school until the end of my football season.”
